Haitian-Canadian Yvena Luc to Run for the Quebec Liberal Party in Repentigny

The Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) has made official the candidacy of Haitian-born clinical nurse Yvena Luc in the riding of Repentigny for Quebec’s next general election. A member of the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec since 2019, Luc has solid experience in the health care system, having worked in long-term care facilities (CHSLDs), hospitals and local community service centers (CLSCs).

PLQ leader Charles Milliard praised her professional background and community involvement, highlighting her work with the Ralliement des infirmières d’origine haïtienne du Canada. In his view, her front-line experience and commitment to public service are major assets for representing the people of Repentigny.

For her part, Luc says her political commitment is a natural extension of her nursing career. “As a nurse, I learned that behind every file there is a person and a family,” she said, stressing her determination to help improve access to care and to stand up for health professionals.

A graduate of Cégep Édouard-Montpetit, she also plans to pursue studies in health management to strengthen her expertise. Her nomination marks another step in the Quebec Liberal Party’s preparations for the next election.
