To help inform you about some of the perspectives of candidates running for mayor and council in the upcoming municipal election, Bayshore Broadcasting News sent a few questions to all those seeking office in municipalities across Grey and Bruce counties.
In Arran-Elderslie, candidates were asked:
1) Why are you running?
2) Are there any steps municipalities can take to help ease cost of living concerns?
3) What are your ideas for economic development in your municipality?
4) Do you think the municipality has a role to play in the recruitment and retention of physicians and other healthcare workers?
5) How do you think Arran-Elderslie can best position itself to attract both businesses and families to the municipality?
Acclaimed candidates were encouraged to participate.
Deputy mayoral candidate Mark Davis did not submit his response before the publishing deadline.
Council candidates John Alpaugh, Brian Dudgeon, and Peter Steinacker also did not submit their responses.
Moiken Penner and Darryl Hampton were acclaimed, but did not submit responses.
Elderslie candidate Melissa Barrett had to withdraw from the race, but will still appear on the ballot.
