As potential mayors and reeves get ready to campaign for this October's election, some candidates have already been acclaimed.
Reeve Arnthor Jonasson of the Rural Municipality of West Interlake did not have any opposition and he will serve another term. In the RM of Macdonald, Reeve Brad Erb was acclaimed for the third straight election. In the RM of St. Francois Xavier, councillor Delmer Nott will be promoted to Reeve as he is not facing any competition.
