The application window for the vacant Montague Township council position has closed, with seven individuals submitting their names for consideration.
Notably among them are former Deputy Reeves Klaas Van Der Meer and Patrick Dolan.
Both of them lost their re-election bids in 2022.
Although the township will be appointing the next council member rather than holding a public vote, there will be an opportunity to pose questions to each applicant during the April 16th meeting at Rosedale Hall.
Questions must be submitted before 2 p.m. on the day of the meeting, either in writing at the Township Office or via email to clerkadministrator@township.montague.on.ca.
