Daphney Colin

Daphney Colin is a lawyer by training, specializing in criminal law. For several years, she has put her expertise to work for Montreal’s municipal administration, where she has held various strategic roles supporting elected officials, both on the executive committee and at the borough level. She has contributed to key files such as public safety, the bylaw on the management of domestic animals, cleanliness, and snow removal within the Borough Collaboration and Citizen Experience Service—concrete issues that shape the daily lives of Montrealers.

With an in-depth knowledge of the realities of Rivière-des-Prairies and Pointe-aux-Trembles, she has collaborated with numerous organizations and local stakeholders to better understand the distinct needs of these two neighborhoods. She firmly believes in the importance of joint efforts between the community, public, and private sectors to address pressing issues, particularly around safety, which remains a major concern for residents. She currently chairs the Public Safety Commission and serves as the elected official responsible for the RDP–PAT Youth Council.

Having lived in the borough for nearly thirty years, Daphney has witnessed its transformation firsthand. As both a mother and an engaged citizen, she wishes to play an active role in its growth. She dreams of a green, human-scaled city with more efficient public transit—one where residents of Pointe-aux-Trembles and Rivière-des-Prairies fully participate in democratic life. Convinced that RDP–PAT is on the rise, she believes that, together with the Projet Montréal team, she can help move forward bold, meaningful projects for families.
