Biography

Boyer grew up in the Pont-Viau neighbourhood of Laval. He is a graduate of a political communications program at Université du Québec à Montréal.[3]

Before being elected as mayor, Boyer was a city councillor representing District 4 (Duvernay–Pont-Viau) on Laval City Council. He was first elected to council in the 2013 municipal elections and was re-elected in 2017. As a city councillor, he was involved in a number of local issues, including the upgrading of the entrance of the Viau Bridge.[4] He then took on more responsibility as part of the city's executive council, eventually becoming the committee's vice president.[5] He became leader of the Mouvement lavallois party in April 2021.

Boyer also wrote a book called "Un Monde de Différences" ("A world of differences") and co-wrote "11 brefs essais pour des villes résilientes et durables" ("11 brief essays for resilient and sustainable cities").
