Three rural municipalities in Canada have returned to normalcy with the election of new mayors after months without elected officials. Strait Shores, Sunbury-York South, and Miramichi River Valley have new mayors, while Lakeland Ridges has a new mayor-elect. The Local Governance Commission appointed supervisors in their place due to resignations and the inability of the councils to function.
Tonight’s elections mark a return to normalcy to three rural municipalities that have been without an elected mayor or council for months after the Local Governance Commission appointed supervisors in their place.
The step was taken because the councils had too many people resign and could no longer function. Strait Shores, located near the Confederation Bridge, saw former acting mayor Annamarie Lynn Boyd win by a narrow margin. The municipality has been without any council for just over a year. The other two communities will have new mayors.
Sunbury-York South, which includes Rusagonis and Waasis, saw Coun. Cory Allen handily win over former acting mayor Larry DeLong by about 600 votes. And Debbie Norton won a close race against former acting mayor Amanda Brennan in Miramichi River Valley, which includes Blackville and Renous. It’s also worth noting that Lakeland Ridges, the amalgamated area in the province’s rural west that includes Canterbury and Meductic, will have a new mayor, too.
That municipality was briefly overseen by a supervisor over infighting and resignations. Leonard G. Foster, who was elected mayor in a byelection after that supervision ended, lost tonight to mayor-elect Gregory Grant.
