Half a dozen people are vying to represent Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing in the House of Commons.
As nominations closed Monday, Elections Canada's now released its list of confirmed candidates.
For the local riding, there are six: Christian Heritage Party candidate Clarence Baarda, a realtor and former Elliot Lake councillor; New Democrat Carol Hughes, who's seeking her fifth term as local MP; People's Party candidate Harry Jaaskelainen, a professional forester and businessman from Echo Bay; Liberal Duke Peltier, the current chief of Wiikwemikoong Unceded Territories; Conservative John Sagman, a professional engineer; and Green Party candidate Stephen Zimmerman, a high school teacher from Laird Township.
This comes nine days before advance voting starts, and less than three weeks before the September 20th election date.
