• Michel Voyer is a businessperson in Magog. In the 1980s, he was president of the downtown association and the Chamber of Commerce. He is a Canadian federalist and supported the "Oui" side in the 1992 Canadian referendum on the Charlottetown Accord. He served on the Magog Township council from 1995 until its merger with Magog in 2002, when he was elected for the new city's fifth ward. He initially favoured the de-merger of Magog Township in 2004, but changed his mind following two provincial amendments to the new city of Magog's charter. He was defeated in 2005 and later served on the board of Magog's business development corporation.
