2026 Canadian municipal election preparations

Overview

The 2026 Canadian municipal election cycle has commenced with various administrative and preparatory activities across Ontario and British Columbia.

In Ontario, nominations for municipal elections opened in early August, with a closing date of August 21 ahead of the October 26 vote. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario also held its annual conference in Ottawa during mid-August.

In British Columbia, local election processes are also underway. The District of Tofino held information sessions for prospective candidates regarding governance and ethical responsibilities. Other municipalities, including the District of Kent, Harrison Hot Springs, Kimberley, and Creston, have initiated nomination periods for mayor, council, and school board positions. Additionally, the North Okanagan Labour Council has begun accepting applications for candidate endorsements, focusing on priorities such as housing affordability and living wages.
