Dumanowski said the decision to run came after a lot of reflection.

“Although we can’t go back in time, I’m proud of my accomplishments in this term with this council, I’m proud of my contribution to the community,” he said. “I will fight hard to be a spokesperson for this community.”

Dumanowski joins fellow councillors Les Pearson, Brian Varga, and Jim Turner in seeking re-election for council. Mayor Ted Clugston announced in January he intends to seek re-election as Mayor on October 16.
