Municipal Election

Response to new voting options meets city clerk's goal

Live show will include instant analysis direct from city hall, with plenty of special guests to dissect the election results.

Kevin Cernjul has decided to forego his mayoralty bid and wants voters instead to choose Frank Pullia.

Eight of the 11 candidates vying for the mayor's chair sounded off on city issues.

More police, more co-operation with OPP and lobbying the province for more funds among the suggestions put forth to combat the growing issue of crime and gangs on Thunder Bay streets.

About four per cent of eligible voters have cast their ballots either online or by phone, more than double the number who have taken part in person at the advanced polls.

Most of the candidates running in city's seven wards participated in public forum.

Twenty-two of the candidates vying for five at-large positions on Thunder Bay city council go through meet-and-greet forum with members of the electorate.

Women in Politics and PARO join forces to also ask municipal voters to consider casting their ballots for more women this time around.

Experience and a broad vision are what this long-time at-large councillor says he'll bring to the mayoralty if he's elected on Oct. 22.
