There could be a four way race for Vernon mayor this fall--if the information packages are any indication. City staff say 15 of the kits have been picked up since late August: 11 for councillor and 4 for mayor. The mayoralty packs have been taken-out by Patrick Davies, Rob Sawatzky, Lew Rossner and incumbent Wayne Lippert. Among those getting the councillor info are Lyle Doucette, Catherine
Lord, Kelly Fehr, Lilly Kerr, Ruth Hoyte, Jamie Morrow, Caroline Radics,
Jeanne Boekelheide, Juliette Cunningham (former councillor) and
incumbents Shawn Lee and Jack Gilroy. Candidates can be officially nominated from October 4th to 14th, with the elections on November 19th.
