  • Saint-François
  • Saint-Vincent-de-Paul
Sector 2
  • Laval-des-Rapides
  • Pont-Viau
  • Renaud
Sector 3
  • Chomedey

  • Fabreville Ouest
  • Îles Laval
  • Laval-Ouest
  • Laval-sur-le-Lac
  • Sainte-Dorothée
Sector 5
  • Fabreville Est
  • Sainte-Rose
Sector 6

The former city of Fabreville was divided among two sectors.

Current Laval City Council [edit]

All 21 councillors were formerly associated with the Parti PRO des Lavallois, the municipal political party of mayor Gilles Vaillancourt.[1] Following Vaillancourt's resignation as mayor on November 9, 2012,[2] the councillors voted to dissolve the party on November 19 and now sit as independents.[1]

Following Vaillancourt's resignation, councillor Basile Angelopoulos served as the city's acting mayor[3] until council selected Alexandre Duplessis, the former councillor for District 15 (Saint-Martin), as the new mayor on November 23.[4]
