At 7:00 PM on Monday, December 5th, Clyde River will hold a special election meeting. The intent is to fill two vacant positions on the community council. Residents at the meeting will elect a new Chairperson and a Councilor. The meeting is being held at the Riverview Community Centre – 718 Clyde River Rd. These two new members will join the current Council for the remainder of the current term which ends in two years.
All eligible residents are encouraged to consider offering to better their community by standing for one of these positions or to attend the meeting and participate in the election process. As the saying goes, “Decisions are made by those who show up”.
Candidates must be present at the meeting or submit a signed document stating they are willing to be nominated and stand for election. Candidates are nominated from the floor by eligible voters and voting takes place shortly afterwards. The election results are announced that evening following the vote count. The entire process takes about 2 hours.
To be eligible to run for municipal office, you must be:
• 18 years of age or older,
• a Canadian citizen, and
