Roberval, on July 30, 2026 — Accompanied by the leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Mr. Charles Milliard, former Quebec Premier Mr. Philippe Couillard, and numerous local members, Mr. Serge Bergeron was officially announced as the Liberal candidate in the riding of Roberval.
A native of Chicoutimi and a member of the Innu community of Mashteuiatsh, Serge Bergeron is a special education teacher by training. He now hopes to put his experience to work for the people of Roberval as a Liberal MNA.
He holds a college diploma (DEC) in humanities from Collège de Jonquière, a bachelor’s degree in special education from the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), and a master’s degree in educational management and administration from the Université de Sherbrooke; he has also studied substance abuse, personal and social education, and educational administration.
Passionate about education and driven by a desire to help impart knowledge to young people—particularly those with special needs—Serge Bergeron has devoted most of his career to Quebec’s education system. He began his career as a special education teacher with the Montreal School Board, where he worked for thirteen years with elementary and secondary school students; he then held several management positions, including assistant principal, principal of elementary and secondary schools and adult education centers, and coordinator of a group of schools within the CSDM. He later served as superintendent of the Pays-des-Bleuets School Board.
In addition to his career in education, Serge Bergeron served as mayor of Roberval from 2021 to 2025. His term was marked by his commitment to sustainable development, improving municipal services, and community development.
“After several years of service in our education system—first as a teacher and then as an administrator—and drawing on my experience as mayor of Roberval, I believe I am ready to represent the citizens of this riding in the National Assembly. As a former mayor, I am familiar with the issues facing our community and understand the essential role a member of the National Assembly must play in working alongside municipal officials. Charles Milliard embodies the renewal of the Quebec Liberal Party, and I look forward to championing the ideas of our political party, which identifies as regionalist, nationalist, and federalist.”
— Serge Bergeron, QLP candidate in Roberval
“I say it every day: our commitment to revitalizing Quebec’s regions depends on electing candidates like Serge Bergeron, who are deeply rooted in their communities. Throughout his career, Serge has worked on the issues that matter most to people here, including improving our public services—especially education—as well as addressing the infrastructure deficit facing Quebec. To address these issues, we will, among other things, convene a national forum on education and provide greater support to municipal officials by giving them the resources they need to act on behalf of their citizens.”
- Charles Milliard, Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party
