- Montreal Citizens' Movement

- Democratic Coalition–Ecology Montreal
- Mario Laquerre (François-Perrault) is a specialist in urban affairs. He studied possible uses for the abandoned Francon Quarry in north-end Montreal during the 1990s and, in the 1994 campaign, articulated his party's position that parts of the quarry could be converted to a giant urban campsite.[1] Laquerre also co-ordinated a local residents group that opposed the Miron quarry landfill site, an active garbage dump located within the city limits.[2] After the 1994 election, he served as president of the Front Commun Québécois pour une Gestion Écologique des Déchets (which sought to limit the shipment of garbage among Quebec's regions) and worked for the group RECYQ-QUÉBEC.[3]

- Independents
- Joseph Mormina is a Montreal entrepreneur. He sought election to the Saint-Leonard city council in 1978 and 1982 as a candidate of the Équipe du renouveau de la cité de Saint-Léonard and was narrowly defeated both times. When his party fragmented in 1984, Mormina joined the Action civique de Saint-Léonard and supported Domenico Moschella's bid to become mayor of Saint-Leonard in a municipal by-election.[4] Action civique later folded into Unité de Saint-Léonard, and Mormina ran unsuccessfully for the latter party in the 1986 municipal election.[5] He ran as an independent in 1994.
