There will be plenty of familiar names on the Antigonish Co. municipal election ballot.
All of the municipality’s incumbent councillors have announced their candidacy.
Mary MacLellan, Donnie MacDonald, Hughie Stewart, Vaughan Chisholm, Remi Deveau, and Owen McCarron, the warden of Antigonish Co., represent districts 1-6, respectively; they all say they’re running for another term.
Incumbents John Dunbar, Gary Mattie, Neil Corbett, and Bill MacFarlane represent districts 7-10, respectively; they previously announced they’re re-offering.
There will be at least one contest in the municipality; Carol MacEachern, an Aulds Cove resident, says she’s running against Corbett in District 9 (Linwood-Havre Boucher-Aulds Cove).
The deadline for candidates to file their nomination papers is Tuesday; municipal elections take place across the province Oct. 17.
