Candidates are trickling in for this fall's municipal elections.
Just shy of a week after nominations opened last Friday, the Municipality of Wawa's currently listing 3 candidates: incumbent mayor Melanie Pilon's running for a second term; Eric Paquette's put his name forward for councillor; and Susan Johnson is running to remain English Public School Board trustee, a role she was appointed to in September 2023, after the death of longtime trustee Russell Reid.
CAO/Clerk Maury O'Neill explains nomination forms - which are available at the municipal office and on the municipal website - must be submitted in person.
O'Neill also asks prospective candidates book an appointment ahead of time, and notes a cost to file.
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.
