Ivon Le Duc


Ivon Le Duc is a politician and entrepreneur in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He served on the Montreal city council from 1994 to 2005 and was a member of the Montreal executive committee (i.e., the municipal cabinet) in Pierre Bourque's administration from 1998 to 2001. Elected three times as a member of Bourque's Vision Montreal (VM) party, he later served with the Montreal Island Citizens Union (MICU) and as an independent.

Le Duc was first elected to council in the 1994 municipal election, defeating incumbent Scott McKay of the Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM) in the east-end division of Honoré-Beaugrand. Vision Montreal won a majority of seats in this election under Bourque's leadership, and Le Duc initially served as a pro-administration backbencher. He was appointed to a committee of the Montreal Urban Community that explored possible police service mergers.

During the Vision Montreal internal crisis of 1997, Le Duc was a vocal supporter of Bourque's leadership. On February 5, 1997, he was promoted to an associate membership on the executive committee.

Le Duc was re-elected in the 1998 municipal election, in which Bourque's administration won a second mandate. On November 12, 1998, he was named as a full member of the executive committee with responsibility for housing. The following year, he led the executive committee in amending the city's urban planning by-laws to require a 7.5 metre gap between garages in new developments. This was a response to complaints from several Montreal communities where crowded garage construction had restricted parking and snow removal service.
