Municipal elections |Yann Caron joins Parti Laval - Équipe Larochelle and will run again in Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
Laval, Wednesday, August 20, 2025 - Action Laval's candidate for Sainte-Rose, Yann Caron, announced by Frédéric Mayer's political party in early August, declared this morning on his Facebook page that he had left the party to join Parti Laval - Équipe Larochelle for the November 2 municipal elections. At the same time, Parti Laval leader and mayoral candidate Claude Larochelle announced that Mr. Caron would be his team's candidate in the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul district, where he grew up, raised his family and ran in the November 2021 municipal election.
A reliable, unifying alternative
A 2021 candidate in the Saint-Vincent-de-Paul district, Yann Caron joined the Second Opposition (Action Laval) early last year with the same objective that drives him to this day: to put the municipal administration back at the service of citizens and contribute to a changing of the guard at Laval City Hall, an administration he feels is marked by a lack of listening and transparency.
On his Facebook page, the candidate declared this morning that he was leaving Action Laval, to which he tendered his resignation earlier this week, to join Claude Larochelle's team. "I am proud to announce that I am officially joining the Parti Laval team [...]. I've been thinking about it for a while and I've come to the conclusion that Parti Laval is the only real, credible and competent alternative to bring about the change we need in Laval. When I met Mr. Larochelle, I immediately saw that he was building a competent, representative and humane team with values that resonate with me, and I immediately felt that this was where I belonged. We have to come together if we want change and if we want to be heard, and that's exactly what Parti Laval is doing," he announced in his publication.
Yann Caron returns to his roots
A native of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, where he grew up and later founded his family, this will be Yann Caron's second election campaign in this southeast Laval district. A graduate in nutrition from the Université de Montréal's Faculty of Medicine, Claude Larochelle's new recruit has built a career spanning more than 25 years in logistics and operations, holding national management positions in key sectors such as distribution, transportation and municipal procurement. A former municipal employee with Ville de Laval and, more recently, a manager in the city's purchasing department, Parti Laval presents him as someone who knows from the inside how municipal operations work, and the levers for action to concretely improve the lives of the people of Laval. The candidate explains that he wants to "make Saint-Vincent-de-Paul a safer and better-served district by advancing transportation, the local economy and sound financial management in Laval."
"Yann Caron is an exceptional addition to our team. He knows Laval, he knows his neighbourhood, he's here for the right reasons. That's Parti Laval. A rallying party, credible and ready to govern as of November 2. His arrival confirms that we are the only credible alternative and the only team ready to lead Laval responsibly," concludes Claude Larochelle, mayoral candidate for the November 2 election.
