So you want to run for Council? There’s an info session for that.

Individuals who are considering running for the role of Mayor, Regional Chair, Local or Regional Councillor in any of the Halton Region municipalities this October are invited to register for a virtual information session taking place on April 11, 2022 at 6:30 p.m.

Provided by Halton Region, the City of Burlington, and Towns of Halton Hills, Milton and Oakville, the information session - “So You Want to Run for Council” - will be led by Fred Dean, municipal coach and former municipal solicitor with extensive experience. The session will provide an overview of the roles and responsibilities of regional and municipal council members including duties, scope, and commitments.

This session will not cover information about nomination, campaigning or other election processes. Those details will be available through each of the area municipalities closer to the start of nomination this May.

While the municipal election is still months away, eligible voters can now complete the first step in preparing to vote this fall. Visit MPAC’s VoterLookup website to check if you are on the voter list. You can add or verify your details, update your address or contact information, and add new eligible voters of your household.
