Nobody is challenging Oliver’s mayor in the upcoming election, but eight people are running for council.
At the close of nominations on Friday, the following people were listed as candidates for the office of councillor: Aimee Grice (incumbent), Kelly Long from Oliver, Leigh Lougheed from Oliver, David Mattes (incumbent), Terry Schafer from Oliver, Charles Simpson from Valemont, Keith Quesnelle from Oliver, and Petra Veintimilla (incumbent).
Acclaimed as water councillors are Rick Machial (incumbent) and Bhupinder Dhaliwal.
Johansen told the Times Chronicle that he was honoured when the people put their faith in him four years ago.
“I’m excited and energized to have the opportunity to continue in this role for a second term.”
Election day is Saturday, Oct. 15.
