Municipality of Yarmouth to elect mayor, 6 councillors in 2028

There will be a Mayor in the Municipality of Yarmouth.

Voters will choose a head of council and six councillors, as they switch to a mayoral system in 2028.

Currently, seven elected councillors choose a warden during their first meeting of a new term.

The change was approved after results of a community survey were presented.

Over half of respondents said they’d prefer to elect a mayor.

The municipality will also do a boundary review of its districts next year.
