Municipal Councillor Survey

Headwaters Communities in Action is working to foster a wider candidate pool across the region for the 2026 municipal elections this October. As such, we want to share some information with the public about what it is like to run and get elected in your riding. Your answers will remain anonymous, but we will be sharing them on our platforms. We do ask for contact information if you are interested in being a mentor, however, this will not be publicly linked to any of your other answers.
