In the presence of Charles Milliard, Leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Brigitte Garceau, MNA for Robert-Baldwin and godmother of the Centre-du-Québec region, and more than sixty activists from the region, Sophie Martinbeault was officially nominated as the QLP candidate in the Nicolet-Bécancour riding.
Sophie Martinbeault, 30, has been teaching vocational training for nearly ten years and is co-founder of an organic farming business in Saint-Wenceslas. After arriving in the region nine years ago to build a market-gardening project, she quickly became involved in her community, notably as an elected municipal official.
A graduate of the École d'agriculture de Nicolet, she knows first-hand the realities of the riding and its thirty or so municipalities, including the Abenaki communities of Odanak and Wôlinak.
