Citizens across the region and province will take to the polls on Wednesday, Oct. 28 to cast their vote for the direction of their municipality. While they don’t garner the headlines of federal or provincial politics, local governments play an extremely important role right here at home, helping to chart a course for the future of our com-
munities. Of the 10 municipalities in Crossroads This Week’s coverage area, all but one will have elections take place. Prairie View Municipality will not see an election take place, as candidates were elected by acclamation, with one council seat in Ward 2 remaining vacant.
