Municipal Election Nominations Start Today

People wanting to run for city council or school board have from September 21 (today) through to September 30 to send in their nominations.

So if you or someone you know is interested in becoming a councillor or a school trustee -- or even mayor -- go to the nominations page on the city website (here) to find out how.

In related news, prairie-dog readers' favourite city councillor for 2008, Fred Clipsham, announced that he will run for another term as Ward 3's representative on city council. He'll be up against U of R professor and prairie dog columnist-on-political-hiatus John Conway. As far as I know, so far this is the only contested ward in the city.
