At 8:30 a.m. Monday, city staff were on hand to receive the first ballots for the 2022 municipal elections. But the Ward 3 Coun. Matthew Schumacher was the only wanted voter to arrive at the Ron A. Irwin Civic Center to submit the required paperwork. Shoemaker appeared with campaign aides Hudson and Maxwell and, as expected, ran over $ 200 and 25 signatures to run for mayor. He had announced his intention to search the office on March 29. Ozzie Grandinetti, a former councilor in the then Wing 6, has also signaled his desire to run for mayor, but did not submit documents today. There were no first-day local nominations for City Council, Algoma District School Council, Huron-Superior High School District Council, Grand Nord de l’Ontario Conseil scolaire or Nouvel Conseil scolaire catholique du Nouvel- Ontario. Nominations end at 2 p.m. on August 19th. The 2022 municipal elections take place on Monday 24 October.
