Indigenous candidates for municipal and civic elections #IndigCivic

On this page, we will keep track of Indigenous candidates funning for municipal, civic, county, townships and local positions. This could include Indigenous governments that may exist in this form. This includes candidates running for Mayor, Councillor, Alderman, Alderwoman, Reeve, Trustee and other local representatives. This will be challenging to maintain, but we will do our best, any information you can provide on these candidates would be appreciated. We may also cover non-Indigenous candidates, who have Indigenous platforms and policy points in their campaigns.

"Alexander also called for an accelerated push to settle all outstanding land claims and to sign treaties with First Nations communities that would empower them to govern themselves because “every government, Liberal or Conservative, needs to acknowledge that huge mistakes were made and a terrible legacy still needs to be overcome."
