Ginette Marotte is politician in

Montreal city council from 2005 to 2013 and was mayor of the Verdun borough council
from 2012 to 2013.

Borough councillor

Marotte was elected for the Champlain division on the Verdun borough council in the

Montreal Island Citizens Union
(MICU). She served for a full four-year term. MICU held all of the borough council's five seats in this period, which coincided with Tremblay's first term as mayor.

City councillor and borough mayor

Marotte was elected to the Montreal city council in the

composter acquired by a municipal administration in Quebec.[2]

Marotte was re-elected to city council as a member of the renamed Union Montreal party in the 2009 municipal election. She continued to serve as chair of the borough environment committee and also served on the city's committee on transport and environmental management.[3]

Gerald Tremblay's administration became engulfed in a serious corruption scandal in late 2012, and Tremblay resigned as mayor on November 5, 2012. Marotte resigned from Union Montreal shortly thereafter to sit as an independent.[4] Claude Trudel also resigned as borough mayor of Verdun in December 2012, and Marotte was chosen by the other council members as his replacement.[5] She served in this position for a year and did not seek re-election in the 2013 municipal election.

During her second term on city council, Marotte served as associate councillor responsible for sustainable development, the environment, and parks,[6] and for Mosaïcultures Internationales Montréal 2013.[7]
