Concerns have been brought to the attention of the Council of Summer Village of Sunset Point regarding the eligibility of individuals as candidates for election in the 2025 general election.
The Summer Village of Sunset Point takes concerns regarding the eligibility of individuals to participate in the municipal election seriously. Compliance with the requirements of the Local Authorities Election Act and the Municipal Government Act is of paramount importance to ensure fair, lawful and democratic elections.
In response to these concerns, Council has directed Administration to instruct legal counsel to commence proceedings in the Court of King’s Bench on behalf of the municipality in order to seek advice and direction from the Court regarding eligibility issues in relation to the 2025 municipal election, if required.
We are currently working with the municipality’s legal counsel to complete our due diligence in relation to these matters, in order to ensure that there is a lawful basis for any legal proceedings commenced by the municipality.
