市政事务部长安德烈·拉福雷斯特发起广告活动，鼓励公民竞选所在城市的市长或议员

距离 2025 年市政大选还有近一年时间，市政事务部长安德烈·拉福雷斯特 (Andrée Laforest) 正在发起一项广告活动，鼓励魁北克各地的公民竞选所在城市的市长或议员。

As the 2025 municipal general elections approach, Municipal Affairs Minister Andrée Laforest has announced an advertising campaign to encourage citizens across Quebec to run for mayor or councilor in their municipalities.

随着 2025 年市政大选的临近，市政事务部长安德烈·拉福雷斯特 (Andrée Laforest) 宣布开展一项广告活动，鼓励魁北克全境公民竞选所在城市的市长或议员。

The campaign, titled "Tu aimes ton coin, va plus loin!" (You Love Your Area, Go Further!), will take place in four phases between November 2024 and September 2025. It aims to fill elected positions by recruiting new candidates in nearly 1,100 municipalities throughout the province.

该活动的标题是“Tu aimes ton coin, va plus loin!” “你爱你的地区，走得更远！”将于 2024 年 11 月至 2025 年 9 月期间分四个阶段进行。该项目旨在通过在全省近 1,100 个城市招募新候选人来填补民选职位。

The campaign highlights the importance of people's connection to their local area and aims to translate it into concrete involvement within their communities.

该活动强调了人们与当地地区联系的重要性，并旨在将其转化为对社区的具体参与。

The initiative also seeks to foster greater interest in elected roles among women and young people. For example, young people make up around 25% of the population but only represented 9.5% of candidates in the previous municipal general elections in 2021.

该倡议还旨在提高妇女和年轻人对当选角色的兴趣。例如，年轻人约占人口的25%，但在2021年的上届市政选举中仅占候选人的9.5%。

According to the Tu aimes ton coin, va plus loin platform, approximately 8,000 municipal positions, including 19 for regional council wardens, will be available in the 2025 election.

根据 Tu aimes ton coin, va plus loin 平台，2025 年选举将提供约 8,000 个市政职位，其中包括 19 个地区议会监狱长。

The Secretariat for the Status of Women is financially supporting this campaign to continue efforts to increase women's representation in politics. In the 2021 municipal elections, women accounted for 35.5% of all candidates.

妇女地位秘书处正在为这项运动提供财政支持，以继续努力增加妇女在政治中的代表性。在2021年的市政选举中，女性占所有候选人的35.5%。

"Municipal elections will be held on November 2, 2025, but future candidates should start considering it today!" stated Minister Laforest. "I want to tell anyone interested in improving their community that getting involved in municipal politics is a way to make a tangible difference and contribute positively to their area's development. The role of municipal elected officials is crucial for our democracy!"

“市政选举将于 2025 年 11 月 2 日举行，但未来的候选人应该从今天开始考虑！”拉福雷斯特部长说。 “我想告诉任何有兴趣改善社区的人，参与市政政治是产生切实影响并为其地区发展做出积极贡献的一种方式。市政民选官员的作用对于我们的民主至关重要！”

The official nomination period will run from September 19 to October 3, 2025, with the municipal general elections taking place on November 2, 2025.

正式提名期将从2025年9月19日至10月3日，市政大选将于2025年11月2日举行。
