Several municipalities in the Canadian province of Quebec held municipal elections to elect mayors and councillors on November 2, 1997.[1] The most closely watched contest was in Quebec City, where incumbent mayor Jean-Paul L'Allier was re-elected, although his supporters lost control of city council to the Civic Progress Party.[2]
