Voters will go to the polls later this year and any resident interested in running as a candidate for mayor, councillor or school board trustee is invited to learn more.

Nomination packages are now available for download on the city’s website.

The city says the website and nomination packages contain important information for those wanting to get their campaigns underway.

“Candidates must be nominated before incurring any expenses or accepting contributions, including in-kind contributions.”

Recent changes to the local Election Act means the nomination period has been extended from the beginning of the year until to Sept. 20.
