19 candidates will be vying for a seat on city council. All current councillors, except for councillor Fred Neale and councillor John Kenny, are seeking re-election.
Mayor Terry Ugulini will be running again. He’ll have competition from newcomer Damon Ford who is looking to shake up the establishment.
