Calling all council hopefuls and incumbents, municipal election nominations open Tuesday, May 1.
City Clerk Dianne Gould-Brown says nominations will be accepted until July 27 at 2pm.
"Candidates should bring a Canadian passport or picture ID, a birth certificate would also need an additional piece of picture ID, a drivers license or citizenship card," says Gould-Brown.
