Endorsing Geneviève Kyle-Lefebvre for Coquitlam City Council

Let me be upfront: I’m not a political person. If you know me, you know I rarely weigh in on elections, and honestly, I don’t always vote. So when I say I’m going out of my way to publicly endorse someone, that should tell you something.

That someone is Geneviève Kyle-Lefebvre.

I wholeheartedly endorse Geneviève Kyle-Lefebvre for Coquitlam City Council, without reservation.

I had the chance to speak with Geneviève directly about her vision for our community. What struck me most was her genuine commitment to listening, not just as a campaign promise, but as a core value. Her dedication to transparency and responsiveness is exactly what I believe Coquitlam needs right now.

But what truly sets Geneviève apart is her track record of action. She created an initiative to bring mothers together, even opening her own home to moms who needed connection and a sense of community. She created a welcoming space where women who may have felt isolated could meet, build friendships, and support one another. That kind of empathy and community leadership has been part of who Geneviève is long before she decided to run for City Council.

Geneviève works hard, shows up, and has meaningful conversations with residents from every corner of Coquitlam. She’s the kind of city leader who will truly be our voice when it matters most.

I’m proud to support her.

Her commitment to making a positive difference is genuine, and it shows in the relationships she has built and the countless ways she continues to give back.

Geneviève brings a strong combination of leadership, financial experience and community knowledge. She understands that good leadership requires more than good ideas. It requires responsible budgeting, sound decision-making, accountability and the ability to deliver results.

Her experience managing budgets, organizations, partnerships and community initiatives gives her a practical understanding of how to balance priorities while keeping people at the centre of decisions.
