Would-be candidates running for municipal office in the Ottawa Valley can take their first steps onto the ballot later this month.
The combined municipalities that make up Renfrew County are sponsoring “So You Want to Run for Council?”, a series of free information sessions that teach candidates about what it takes to serve on Council and the responsibilities of local government.
Participants will be taken through the finer points of serving the community by Nigel Bellchamber, an experienced municipal professional who trains municipal staff and councils through Amberly Gavel and N.G. Bellchamber & Associates.
Sessions are currently scheduled for Eganville and McNab/Braeside on April 23 and again in Petawawa and virtually through Zoom on April 24.
