2nd Wawa Council Candidate Files

The field of prospective Wawa councillors has doubled - just three weeks before nomination deadline.

Sue Smith has filed to become a councillor, making her only the second person to do so for the fall municipal election, after Leah Isosaari.

It's been slow for other positions, with no-one in the running for mayor - current Mayor Pat Tait has said he's not running - and only one school board trustee candidate, longtime English Public School Board trustee Russell Reid up for re-election.

Chapleau's even quieter, with a single candidate filing so far - local businessman Ryan Bignucolo running for mayor - while Dubreuilville has only seen three people file: current Mayor Beverly Nantel, current Councillor Hélène Perth, and longtime French Language Separate School Board trustee Roger Lemoyne have all filed for re-election.

Prospective candidates only have three weeks left to file: the deadline's 2 pm Friday, August 19th.
