Candidate drops out of School Board Race

There will only be four eligible candidates for the Keewatin-Patricia District School

Board when the ballots come out in the next week or so.

Jon Sigurdson had filed his nomination papers prior to the September 10th deadline,
but has informed the city's returning officer that he will be moving out of the area.

That makes him ineligible to run for the school board.

Joanne McMillin says the ballots have already been sent out to be printed, meaning
Sigurdson's name will still show up on the ballot.

She adds that she's trying to advise as many people as she can prior to the election
that as of October 1st, he will not be an eligible candidate.
