David Courtemanche
David Courtemanche (born 1964) is the current mayor of Greater Sudbury, Ontario.
Courtemanche won election in the 2003 municipal election after the retirement of longtime mayor Jim Gordon. His campaign platform included proposals for economic and community development, green energy and corporate reorganization of the newly incorporated (and still controversial) amalgamated city government. He emerged the victor over prominent local businessman Paul Marleau and 12 other opponents in the province's second largest field of mayoral candidates that year. (Only Toronto, with 44 candidates, had a larger mayoralty race.)
He was previously a city councillor, elected for the first time in 1997. He was just 39 years old when first elected mayor, the city's youngest-ever mayor.
