A local candidate's received a boost ahead of the provincial election campaign.
The Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation has officially endorsed NDP incumbent Michael Mantha in his bid to remain Algoma-Manitoulin's MPP - and they've also endorsed NDP candidate Michele McCleave-Kennedy in her bid to represent Sault Ste. Marie.
Mantha - who's represented the riding since 2011 - is set to face off against Hornepayne Mayor Cheryl Fort - who's running for the Progressive Conservatives - and Manitoulin Health Centre CFO and VP of Corporate Services Tim Vine, who's running under the Liberal banner.
