Nominations closed for the 2018 municipal election today, Friday, July 28 at 2:00 p.m. The candidates listed below, in alphabetical order by last name, have filed for council positions in the Town of Huntsville and the Township of Lake of Bays.
Also listed are those candidates who filed for District Chair, a choice that was to be made by constituents for the first time this year. But on the morning of July 27, just hours before nominations closed across the province, Premier Doug Ford announced the Better Local Government Act which, if passed in the Ontario legislature, would affect the election of District Chair. The act would “amend the Municipal Act and the Municipal Elections Act to reverse changes, introduced in 2016, that mandate the election of new regional chairs in York, Peel, Niagara and Muskoka Regions and return the system that was in place prior to 2016. Other regional chair elections will remain unchanged.” (Read more here: Ford’s announcement a blow to democracy in Muskoka, says former District chair)
