Jacques LeBlanc
- Government Whip
Jacques LeBlanc is a dedicated man who is involved in his community. He was elected municipal councillor in Shediac for the first time in May 2008. After serving his four-year term, he ran for mayor in the May 2012 election.
With his innovative ideas and dynamic leadership, he quickly convinced the people of Shediac that he was the right man for the job, and, on May 14, 2012, they gave him the mandate to lead the municipality. He was re-elected mayor by acclamation in 2016.
Among his accomplishments as mayor, he promoted smart growth in the municipality and helped ensure its fiscal responsibility. If there is a slogan that defines Mr. LeBlanc, it is transparency and accountability.
As a Member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Mr. LeBlanc is committed to doing his work with the same drive he demonstrated during the years when he was a municipal councillor.
As an MLA, he has actively participated in the work of various committees, including the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, the Standing Committee on Economic Policy, and the Standing Committee on Climate Change and Environmental Stewardship.
Now in his third term, he will continue to work with Shediac-Cap-Acadie constituents, while, as a leader, playing a unifying role in the interests of the entire region. In fact, Mr. LeBlanc often says: If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together.
Mr. LeBlanc graduated from the Université de Moncton in 1986 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a concentration in accounting and finance, and he recently retired after over 26 years in the accounting department at Villa Providence. Jacques and his wife Denise, a businesswoman, have two children, Annie and Stéphane. They are also proud grandparents.
Mr. LeBlanc has various hobbies and has been a volunteer firefighter for over 15 years and a hockey coach for 10 years. He enjoys sports, reading, and, of course, politics, which he has been passionate about for some time.
To keep in shape, Mr. LeBlanc spends a lot of time and energy training, which allows him to get everywhere he needs to go!
