Thank You to Our 2026 Municipal Candidates

public notice

The Municipal District of St. Stephen would like to extend a sincere thank you to all of the individuals who have put their names forward for Mayor and Council in the upcoming election.

Stepping up to serve your community is no small commitment. It takes courage, dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference. We are fortunate to have a strong group of candidates who are willing to invest their time and energy into helping shape the future of our community. 

We encourage residents to take the time to learn more about each candidate. Reach out, ask questions, and engage in meaningful conversations about the issues that matter most to you and your family. An informed and engaged community is key to a strong and vibrant municipality.

Save the Date:

Join us on April 25, 2026 at the Garcelon Civic Center for the Meet the Candidates event, proudly sponsored by the Municipal District of St. Stephen and CHCO TV. This will be a great opportunity to hear directly from candidates and learn more about their vision for our community.

Let’s come together to support a respectful, informed, and engaged election process.
