Borough mayor

As borough mayor of Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Ferrandez reduced snow removal services. In order to reduce expenses related to overtime compensation, he refused to send snow removal crews out immediately following snow storms, on weekends, or when the total accumulation was five inches or less. The move has garnered both support and criticism.[3]

He resigned as borough mayor on May 14, 2019, because he could not convince other municipal politicians of the importance of environmental issues.[4]
