Mayor, Ronald Bourque
I was born in Saint John, N.B. in 1950 and moved to Moncton in 1967 where I graduated from Moncton High School in 1970. I began my working career with the Canadian National Railroad and with General Electric who transferred me to Northern New Brunswick in 1976.
In 1981 I began my career with Michelin Tire Canada Inc., as an Account Manager. I have enjoyed a 31 year experience in developing my business background, solving problems and dealing with people.
In 1990, I married Gail Noel from this area and we moved here in 1991. Our son, Ryan was born here in 1993. I became a very active member of my community playing gentleman’s hockey at the arena, I have served 2 terms on Council from 2001 to 2008 and I am very active over the last 7 years with the Royal Canadian Legion Durham Branch #77 where I have served as 1st Vice President, Executive Officer and Secretary.
In July 2012, I retired to become a full time Mayor. I am looking forward to the many challenges ahead and the development of this great community. |

Deputy Mayor, Mario Lapointe
I was born in Dalhousie, New Brunswick in 1970 and lived in the Restigouche Region for most of my life with the exception of 3 years in Moncton, New Brunswick where I studied Civil Engineering Technology and acquired my diploma in 1991.
In 1992, I met my wife Dony and have been a “Belleduner” every since. Dony and I have 1 daughter, Emily who was born in 1996 and will be graduating high school in 2013.
In 1994, I began my involvement with the Village of Belledune Municipal Government through the Comprehensive Community Planning process during the Amalgamation of the old Belledune Village, Jacquet River Village and the surrounding local service districts (LSDs) that make up today’s Belledune Village.
I am honored to be voted in as a Councillor for the Village of Belledune for my second term and supported by fellow Councillors to fill the role as Deputy Mayor during this term.
The 2012-2016 term for the new Belledune Council represents a strong opportunity for positive change and I am very excited to be a part of that for our community over the next 4 years.

Councillor, Tracy Culligan
I was born and raised in Belledune, attending Belledune School and graduating from Bathurst High School in 1988. I graduated from Saint Francis Xavier University (Antigonish, NS), in 1992, with a Degree in English and from Ryerson University (Toronto, ON), in 1995, with a Degree in Print Journalism. I lived in Grande Prairie, Alberta for eight years before returning home to Belledune in 2003, where I now raise my two girls, Hannah & Chloë, with my fiancé, Jamie. I have had the privilege of working for CCNB Campbellton in the Academic Studies Department for the past six years as Coordinator and Instructor at the Belledune External Site.
I enjoy being an active participant in our village, serving on various committees and volunteering for numerous events. As a member of Village Council, I now sit on the Board of Directors for the Union of Municipalities of New Brunswick for Zone 7, which runs from Belledune to Tide Head.
I feel extremely honoured to be Councillor for Ward 3, and Belledune as a whole. I understand the issues facing this village, and I have a passionate attachment to this community and its people. I want to see Belledune thrive; I want our village to be the best it can be; I want to continue to raise my girls in a community that can offer them the very best of everything. I look forward to working hard with my fellow council members, staff, and villagers the next four years to make these goals a reality. |

Councillor, Heather Frenette
I was born and raised at the upper end of Belledune formerly known as Jacquet River. I am married with two grown children. I would like to thank the people of Ward1 for placing their trust in me for the next four years to serve them as a member of council. I have been involved in this community for a lot of years; be it coaching your children, involvement in church committees, or helping out at fundraising events. I am ready to face the commitment of working with you and for you to move this village forward and to be instrumental in finding good jobs that will at least give our children the option to stay in Belledune. I am very approachable, so if there is anything that you would like to see done, or are in disagreement with what is being done, please don\'t hesitate to contact me. I firmly believe in strong communication if we are going to achieve success. |
