Chapleau's incoming mayor says he's "excited" after being acclaimed to the role.
Local businessman Ryan Bignucolo says he was motivated to run because he felt the community was "not moving forward" and was "losing things", with plans to address that as mayor.
Bignucolo adds the Township needs to ensure it's getting its "fair share" of fuel taxes, and sees other priorities.
In addition to economic development items, Bignucolo says there's "something about bringing a community together".
Bignucolo will be joined on Council by current councillor Lisi Bernier, her husband Paul Bernier, Cathy Ansara, and Alex Lambruschini - he calls them "a great group of people" with a common interest of seeing Chapleau prosper.
