Background

Eloyan was born in Syria and immigrated to Canada in 1976. She is of Armenian descent.

Member of the Bourque administration

In 1994 she ran for a seat on the city council under the Vision Montreal banner in the district of Acadie. She won with 45 per cent of the vote as Pierre Bourque became Mayor of Montreal. She served as Montreal's chairperson of the executive committee from 1994 to 1998. She was re-elected in 1998 with 58 per cent of the vote.

Leader of the Opposition

Even though Vision Montreal lost the 2001 election, Eloyan managed to win re-election as city councillor. She ran in the district of Cartierville and received 53% of the vote. She served as borough mayor of Ahuntsic-Cartierville until 2005. She was re-elected to the council with 49% of the ballots in that same year in the district of Bordeaux-Cartierville.

When Bourque retired from politics in May 2006, Eloyan became Leader of the Opposition. [1]

In May 2008, she confirmed her desire to leave office as leader of the opposition in Montreal and was replaced by Benoit Labonté, then borough mayor of Ville-Marie. She did not run again in the 2009 Montreal municipal election, and her seat was taken by Harout Chitilian of Union Montréal.
