With about a week-and-a-half to go until the filing deadline, the candidate list for the Oct. 25 municipal election is on the rise.

David Polhill has made it a two-candidate race in Northwood Ward, filing to run against two-time incumbent Mark Bentz, while Norm Staal and former Current River Coun. Dick Waddington have upped the at-large race to nine.

Dougall Media has also learned that a pair of at-large incumbents intend to file their nomination papers before the deadline.

Coun. Rebecca Johnson on Monday said she plans to re-offer and will file her papers next week, while Coun. Larry Hebert, first elected in 2006, confirmed he will seek a second at-large term and will likely make it official on Wednesday.
