Board of Directors

Mandate

As a public corporation, pursuant to the Act respecting public transit authorities, the STO is represented by a Board of Directors (BoD) that safeguards its interests and those of its customers in accordance with its mission. Each member has a four-year term, which is renewable.

Members

The powers of the STO are exercised by a BoD composed of seven members. Five of these are appointed by Ville de Gatineau. The other two are chosen from among Gatineau residents to represent regular and paratransit service users.

Meetings

The Board of Directors convenes at least 10 regular meetings annually. Those meetings are public, and therefore open to anyone who is interested.

At those meetings, BoD members make administrative, policy and technical decisions. Those decisions are subject to a majority vote and to the best interests of the STO and our customers.

Each member has one vote, and must vote on every issue put to a vote. The Chairperson casts the deciding vote in the case of a tie.

Question period

Every public meeting of the BoD starts with a question period during which questions can be put to the members. Gatineau residents are entitled to attend the meetings, ask questions and share their views. This can be done in person at the meeting or by email to questionCA@sto.ca. Emails must be received by noon the day before the Board meeting.

Schedule

BoD public meetings are held in the meeting room of the Centre administratif-Antoine-Grégoire, at 111 rue Jean-Proulx, Gatineau, starting at 4 p.m. 

*The meeting on June 27 will be at 5 p.m. exceptionally.
