Having begun his political career as a councillor in Kirkland in 1991 and having served as mayor for the last eight years, Mayor Michel Gibson is seeking a third mandate in the November municipal election.
âBecause of the pandemic it will be very hard for me to knock on the 6,400 doors to see my residents,â Gibson said. âWe have to be safe and mailing in ballot is what I hope the Provincial Government will consider seriously.â
One of Gibsonâs platform for the new mandate will be to âmaintaining and even improving services by keeping tax increases to a minimum as in 2021 our local tax on the average house increased by only $44. or 1%, way below inflation.â
