Depending on where you live and the services you receive, municipalities oversee and can have a daily impact on:

• water and sewerage services;
• emergency measures planning;
• fire services;
• parks, culture, and recreation;
• land use;
• building development permits;
• nuisance or animal control bylaws, and much more.

Voting in municipal elections is important and a key part of our democracy. Your vote:

• helps to determine who represents your views for the future of the municipality
• is your voice on issues that are important to you
• impacts local services and programs provided by the municipality
• shows that you care about what happens in your municipality and local community
• can help to create positive change in your municipality
