The municipal election continues to add candidates who believe they have the vision to bring Fort Frances into the future.
The most recent, and to date only mayoral, candidate was added to the Town of Fort Frances’ unofficial list of candidates this morning. Brent Calder has tossed his hat into the ring for the mayoral seat, which will be vacated by current mayor Andrew Hallikas in November.
Calder is the fifth name to be added to the list since nominations opened in May. While his stands as the only mayoral candidate thus far, four others are in the running for a seat on council: Gary Cousineau, Kaleb Firth, Nathan Galusha and Bill Morrison, who is currently sitting as a member of council.
The nomination period remains open for potential candidates to have their name added to the list until 2:00 p.m. Central Time on Friday, August 21, 2026, with the municipal clerk certifying all nominations on Monday, August 24, 2026. For more information on how to register your name for this year’s election, please see the Town of Fort Frances website.
The municipal election is scheduled to be held on Monday, October 26, 2026.
