Mayor and council races may be drawing most of the attention, but Regional District directors and School Board trustees are also facing elections next month.
For the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, incumbent Directors Eric Nyce, Dave Brocklebank, and Tina Etzerza will retain their positions in Areas A, D, and F, as they face no opposition.
But Electoral Area B, which covers the rural Hazeltons, Kispiox Valley, and some of Witset, will see Roy Davies and Cyra Yunkws challenge incumbent Dean Paranich.
Incumbent Bruce Bidgood will face Martin Holzbauer and Gill McKean in Area C, which covers the rural Terrace area and south coastline.
And Area E, or Thornhill, will see Ted Ramsey challnge incumbent Jeffery Hammond in a repeat of last race.
In the Coast Mountains School District, 5 of 7 trustees are locked in after running unopposed, but the other two spots are tightly contested.
Michelle Day and Wayne Jones will square off for the Stewart trustee spot, while Beverly Percival, Pamela Mikolayczyk, Jordon Muldoe, and Julia Sundell will compete for the Hazelton spot.
This year’s municipal elections will take place on October 15th.
