Few election races in sight yet in Dufferin

August 13, 2014   ·   0 Comments

Although anyone seeking office in one of Dufferin’s eight municipalities has been able to file nomination papers since January 2, Orangeville is one of the few that will see a fight for council seats, and thus far no one is seeking to become the town’s mayor or deputy mayor.

With just four weeks remaining until the Sept. 12 deadline for filing nomination papers, elsewhere in the county the filings have been few and far between. In East Garafraxa township, the lone filing has been by Steve Cavell for the office of deputy mayor.

Here, as of Wednesday, are the confirmed candidates:
