White River Reopens Nominations for 2 Council Seats

Prospective White River councillors are getting another chance to put their name forward.

The community only saw two candidates file before last Friday's nomination deadline - current councillors Dwijen Bharad and Rodney Swarek - with both acclaimed - but there are four seats on White River Council, so the Township's reopening nominations for the two remaining seats from 9 am to 2 pm today.

If more than two candidates file, then those two seats would be put to an election, along with the role of mayor, as two people filed their nomination for that: Tara Anderson Hart and current councillor Mark Hubbard.

Municipal elections across Ontario will be held October 24th.
