City Councillor (Sainte-Marie District) at Ville de Montréal
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Mccray is a Montréal-based city councillor for Sainte-Marie with nine years of scientific and applied experience in atmospheric and climate science. He holds a PhD in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from McGill and translated deep expertise on freezing rain and extreme weather—from postdoctoral research to climate simulation work at Ouranos—into practical forecasting and policy insight. Before elected office he advised forecasters and utilities at NOAA, IBM, and WeatherWorks, developing Python-driven verification tools and operational forecasts that improved ice-accumulation and road-weather decision-making. As a municipal representative with Projet Montréal, he blends data-driven climate resilience thinking with community-focused governance in the Ville-Marie borough. Notably, his background straddles rigorous academic research and hands-on operational meteorology, giving him rare credibility on both science and service delivery.
