Thinking about running in this fall’s municipal election? Come to Clearview Township’s Candidate Information Session to find out more about what it involves.
On Tuesday, May 6, individuals who are considering running for a seat in municipal office or for school board trustee; people who are helping candidates; or those who are already elected are invited to the Stayner Community Centre to learn more about the election process.
At the session, representatives from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing will discuss the role of elected officials, the Municipal Elections Act and election finances.
“It’s a chance for people to learn more about the process and ask questions,” said Pamela Fettes, Director of Legislative Services/Municipal Clerk.
Fettes has extended the invitation to candidates from all over the region in neighbouring municipalities such as Wasaga Beach.
“We’ve opened it up because sometimes you learn more from the questions that are asked and the discourse that follows,” said Fettes. “Some people who have run in previous elections can provide insight into their experience as well.”
Clearview will host the Candidate Information Session on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 pm at the Stayner Community Centre (269 Regina Street). RSVP by contacting voteclearview@clearview.ca or 705-428-6230 by Monday, May 5.
