Election Contests Shaping Up

Jeff Green | Aug 17, 2022

With only three days to go (this article is being written on August 16) most of the districts (wards) within Frontenac County and Addington Highlands have enough candidates to require an election.

The exceptions are Loughborough and Bedford Districts in South Frontenac, the Mayor’s position in Central Frontenac, Ward 3 in North Frontenac, and the Reeve position and Ward 1 in Addington Highlands.

There are enough candidates to fill the above mentioned position however.

The biggest changes in the last week were in Ward 2 of Addington Highlands, where there are now 4 candidates for the two positions: incumbents Helen Yanch and David Miles, and challengers Ken Hook and Bill Cox (who are both former members of Council)

Other additions are in Central Frontenac, where Danny Meeks is now running in Olden along with incumbent Victor Hesse and Bill Everett. And there is a 4th candidate in Oso Ward, Craig Middleton, joining incumbent Bill MacDonald, Susan Irwin, and Duncan McGregor.

One position that is still without a candidate is the Limestone School Board Trustee for South Frontenac.

After the end of the nomination period on Friday, August 19, the candidate list will be posted at Frontenacnews.ca
