The City of Timmins successfully hosted the “So, You Want to Run for Council” training session on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, with a strong interest from community members. The session attracted 23 residents, including two participants from Iroquois Falls preparing to run in their own municipal election.

Delivered by Amberley Gavel Ltd., a municipal governance consulting firm, the workshop offered practical, candidate-focused insights into the realities of serving on municipal council.

Participants gained a clear understanding of:

• The roles and responsibilities of Members of Council, the Head of Council, and municipal staff
• How municipal powers are exercised
• Municipal Conflict of Interest and Code of Conduct requirements
• The role of the Integrity Commissioner
• Strong Mayor Powers and their impact on council governance

The session was designed to support individuals who are considering running in the upcoming municipal election by providing the knowledge needed to make an informed decision before entering the nomination process.

“It’s encouraging to see so much interest from residents who want to serve their community,” said Steph Palmateer, City Clerk and Director of Community Services. “Municipal council operates within a very prescribed legislative framework, and it’s important that prospective candidates understand the responsibilities and expectations of the role. Having the opportunity to hear directly from a recognized professional with municipal experience also helps ensure participants are well-informed before entering the nomination process.”

The next municipal election will take place on October 26, 2026.
