A couple more candidates have entered the running for local council seats.
The Municipality of Wawa's now listing two candidates for four councillor seats: Eric Paquette - who'd put his name forward soon after nominations opened - and Jason North, who's new to the list.
There's still just one candidate who has filed for mayor - incumbent Melanie Pilon, who's seeking for a second term after she was acclaimed in the 2022 election - while Susan Johnson is running to remain English Public School Board trustee, a role she was appointed to in September 2023.
The Township of Chapleau's also showing a new councillor candidate, Monique O'Hearn, who joins Michael Houle in that race, while there are three candidates who've filed to be mayor of Chapleau: incumbent Ryan Bignucolo; current councillor Alex Lambruschini; and David or Dave McDonald.
Neither the Townships of Dubreuilville or White River have reported any candidates so far.
Candidate certification is set to happen after the nomination deadline of 2 pm on August 21st, with the official candidate list to be released after that.
Municipal and school board elections will be held across Ontario on October 26th.
