Mathieu Fleury served 3 terms as the city councillor for Rideau-Vanier Ward before deciding to step away in 2022 after personal reflection. The politician said divisions on City Council, and the Freedom Convoy protest that led to death threats, led to tough choices that put his family first. This week, Fleury was elected as a School Board Trustee in Zone 10, representing Conseil des écoles publiques de l'Est de l'Ontario – Ottawa’s French Public Board. He spoke to City In Review about the new role and his return to the political arena.
