Local Candidates Few One Month from Municipal Election Nomination Deadline

Prospective town council members and school board trustees are being reminded time is running out to file their papers.

Nominations for municipal elections across Ontario are open until 2 pm on August 19th, and Wawa Clerk Cathy Cyr notes it's a simple process: obtain the forms from the municipal office or website, fill them out, then bring them in - and pay the required fee.

Cyr reminds there are a few basic requirements to run.

So far, only a single candidate has filed in Wawa - a prospective councillor - while Chapleau also has only one - a prospective mayor - and Dubreuilville has three: one for mayor, one for councillor, the other for school board.
