Pierre Leroux, a married father of three boys, has been a resident of Russell Township for over 16 years.
Leroux understands the dedication and hard work of small business owners, having previously established two Dépanneur/Vidéo store locations in Embrun and Casselman.
He has served as an Embrun volunteer fire fighter, and in 2010, was elected as a municipal Councillor. Following the sudden loss of beloved Mayor and friend, JP St. Pierre, Leroux ran, and was elected as Mayor of Russell Township in late 2014.
