MORRISBURG – With a little over a month until the nomination deadline for the 2018 municipal election, South Dundas will get its first candidate for mayor.
Last night, sitting South Dundas councillor Marc St. Pierre told The Leader that he will seek election as mayor in the upcoming election.
“This position comes with a high degree of commitment, a high degree of community responsibility and a degree of leadership that is second to none in leading the Municipality of South Dundas through the next term of council – all of which I am ready to undertake,” said St. Pierre.
