Bryce Durafourt

Bryce Durafourt is a politician and student in Montréal, Québec. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Honours Microbiology and Immunology from McGill University in 2009, and is currently completing a Master's of Science degree in Neuroscience under the supervision of Dr. Jack Antel at the Montréal Neurological Institute.

Durafourt has had a passion for politics since he was old enough to vote: at the age of 18, he ran for Montréal city councillor in Saint-Laurent during the 2005 municipal elections. He went on to run for English Montreal School Board commissioner in 2007, and most recently for Montréal city councillor in the 2009 municipal elections. As an independent candidate, Durafourt garnered more than 6% of the vote in this last election, and hopes to build on his experiences in future campaigns.

When taking a break from his educational and political life, Durafourt enjoys to be on the water. He taught sailing lessons as the head instructor at the Baie d'Urfé Yacht Club for a number of summers, and now volunteers with the Canadian Coast Guard Auxiliary. He also enjoys biking, and during the winter months is involved in curling at a competitive level.
