Northern Ontario Wires - PUBLIC NOTICE

In preparation for the 2026 municipal elections, we encourage everyone to ensure they are on the voters’ list and to verify their information.

It's quick and easy to verify your voter information!

The municipal voters list is different from provincial and federal lists. So, even if you received a voter's card for the recent federal and provincial elections, it doesn't automatically mean you will be on the municipal voters list, especially if your information has changed. For municipal elections the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation - MPAC is responsible for collecting the information of residents in Ontario, such as name, date of birth, citizenship and school support, in order to create a preliminary list of electors. Municipalities then use that preliminary list of electors to prepare their voters lists.

Am I on the Voters List?

Purpose of the application: the application proposes to sever the private road from the remainder of the property leaving two retained parcels.

You or an agent may submit your views, in writing, to the Kapuskasing District Planning Board, Secretary Treasurer, Jon Beadow, no later than 3:00 p.m. on May 27, 2024.
