Individuals interested in running for Mayor, Regional Chair, Local or Regional Councillor in any Halton Region municipality this October are invited to register for a virtual information session on April 21, 2026, from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The session, titled “Thinking about running for Council?” is designed to provide a realistic look at life in public office, and will feature presentations from John Mascarin, a leading municipal solicitor, and Kelly Linton, a government change specialist and former elected official.

This virtual session will provide a clear overview of the roles and responsibilities of regional and municipal council members, including their duties, scope of authority, financial and legal obligations, and the day-to-day realities of serving in elected office.
