The deadline for candidates looking to run in this year's civic elections in Ontario will end in exactly four weeks from today.
Right now the list for those seeking election in the Rainy River district is quite short.
Only incumbent Sharon Tibbs in Fort Frances, April Chojko-Bolec and Hugh O'Hare in Lake of the Woods Township, and incumbent Mary Makarenko in Atikokan have filed nomination papers for councillor positions.
Vince Sheppard in Emo and Atikokan Mayor Dennis Brown have filed for the mayoral spots in their communities.
Mike Lewis in Atikokan, Dan Belluz and David Kircher in Fort Frances, Glenda Belluz for Alberton and LaVallee township areas and Margaret Heyens for the area covering Emo, Chapple and Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls are seeking seats on the Rainy River District School Board.
