With New Brunswick ready to hold municipal elections Monday, few places have seen as lively a mayor’s race as Miramichi.
Five candidates are in the running after Adam Lordon, the current mayor, did not reoffer. Twenty-four people are running for eight council positions, and only three of the candidates are incumbents.
The five candidates for mayor are Veronique Arsenault, Tiffany Gallivan, Peggy McLean, Shawn Power and Nancy Waye.
While many of New Brunswick’s municipalities are dealing with the growing pains of amalgamation in the first election since the map was redrawn in 2023, Miramichi is not.
It was amalgamated in 1995, joining together several towns on both sides of the Miramichi River.
