By-Election Update
There are currently three candidates in the running for the Ward 7 by-election. They are Audrey Holden, Brian Junkin, and Gail Thomassen. The deadline for nominations is Dec. 10, so we’ll let you know if anyone else throws their hat in the ring.
Several members of the SPA board met with Brian and Gail to impress upon them the specific concerns of Sturgeon Point. Audry Holden will be coming to visit this coming week for a similar meeting.
We’ve set up a By-Election page with links to the candidates’ information. We’ll keep this page updated with links to election-related news articles throughout the campaign. You’ll also find a listing of important election dates.
Important: If you haven’t received a ballot in the mail by January 12 you need to contact the City By-Election Office.
