It will be a short ballot for this October’s municipal election in Mississippi Mills. Mayor Christa Lowry was acclaimed for the second time and Deputy Mayor Rickey Minnille. In Almonte ward both incumbents Jane Torrance and Mary Lou Souter were also acclaimed. The sole seat for Pakenham ward only saw one set of nomination papers filed; those of Tavis Joron who will take a council seat this fall. Current Pakenham rep, Denzil Ferguson declined to run this year.
The only contested ward was Ramsay with incumbents Vicki Lowe and Bev Holmes set to face off against Brien Devries and John Cochran.
The Mills will not have paper ballots, but instead are holding this election by phone or internet. Voting opens on October 19th and closes on the 26th.
