Candidate Information Sessions | 2026 Municipal & School Board Elections

Anyone interested in running for office in the 2026 Municipal and School Board Elections is encouraged to attend one of these sessions.

Each session, hosted in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, will begin with a presentation from the Ministry and be followed by a Question-and-Answer period.  

New and seasoned candidates are encouraged to attend this informative session to learn about the responsibilities set out in the legislation for both candidates and third-party advertisers, and a general overview of the roles and responsibilities of Members of Council.
