The incumbent mayor in Cole Bay is back in by acclamation, while the mayor of a nearby community has decided to pack it in.

 

Cole Bay mayor Harold Aubichon was the only person to let his name stand in time for last week’s nomination deadline, and will serve another three years in office.

 

Meanwhile, longtime Jans Bay mayor Ernest Gardiner has decided against seeking re-election.

 

Three candidates are hoping to replace him — former councillor Steve Bouvier, incumbent councillor Patsy Laliberte and local fire suppression worker Simone Maurice.

 

The municipal elections in Jans Bay and Cole Bay take place October 4th.
