Brian Bigger

 Elected Mayor

TBA

The election will be held in conjunction with those in other municipalities in the province of Ontario. For other elections, see 2022 Ontario municipal elections.

Nominations officially opened on May 2, 2022.[1]

In March 2022, the city updated its election regulations to provide better clarification of the limits on the use of municipal resources in political campaigns.[2]

Mayor

Incumbent mayor Brian Bigger has stated that he intends to run for reelection.[1] Former federal Member of Parliament Paul Lefebvre has announced plans to run as a challenger.[3]

Former Ward 4 councillor Evelyn Dutrisac, anti-poverty activist Bob Johnston, and Miranda Rocca-Circelli have registered to run for election.[4]

Johnston's announcement was greeted with some controversy as he immediately placed a decal with the slogan "Not Bigger, but Better / Mayor / Vote Bob Johnston 2022" on his car within days of his initial announcement, potentially violating provincial election laws stating that candidates cannot incur any election-related expenses prior to the official opening of nominations on May 1.[5]
