A little over a month into the nomination period for the October 26 municipal election, the list of registered candidates for Meaford council is growing.
As of the morning of Monday, June 8, Meaford now has one candidate for mayor: current Deputy Mayor Shirley Keaveney, one for deputy mayor – current Councillor Rob Urhig, and four candidates registered to run for a regular council seat – incumbents Tony Bell, Brandon Forder, and Eric Ennis, along with a new face, candidate Adam Vaughan.
In addition to voting for council candidates, voters will also elect school board trustees on October 26. One candidate has filed their paperwork thus far to run for French Public School Board Trustee, incumbent Eric Lapointe, and one candidate has registered to run for English Public School Board Trustee, Angela Forder.
Anyone planning to run for council or school board trustee will have until August 21 to register their candidacy. Election information, including the unofficial list of registered candidates can be found at: https://www.meaford.ca/en/our-government/election.aspx
