The municipal election is days away and a new mayor will be elected on Monday.
If you haven't already cast a ballot, here's a look at who's running for the mayor's seat.
A new mayor will be elected on Oct. 24 because George Pirie vacated the position for provincial politics. While Kristin Murray was appointed to the seat, she's seeking re-election in Ward 5.
There are three people in the mayoral race: Michelle Boileau, Joe Campbell and Richard Lafleur.
Boileau is finishing up her first term on council sitting as a Ward 5 councillor. She's hoping to bring a future-focused leadership to the seat. Read more about her here. Her take on some of the issues is available here.
Campbell has served two terms as the Ward 3 councillor and had a 40-plus-year career in accounting. He says the city is a business and needs to be run like one. Read more about him here. His responses to some of the issues are available here.
Richard Lafleur is a local businessman and says it's time to reinvest in his hometown. This is his first time running for municipal office. Read more about him here.
