Municipal Election

Being properly prepared to take on the role of elected official is critical for
individuals making this commitment.  From the election process through to a 'win' there

are rules and regulations candidates must follow.

   New candidates bring energy, enthusiasm and passion. These workshops

allow them to also develop a solid understanding of the roles, responsibilities,

and provincial guidelines/laws under which every municipality functions,

under which every elected person is guided and directed.
