There will be a new face in the mayor’s office after election day. Matt Brown, the city’s mayor since the 2014 election, announced late last year that he would not seek a second term. Brown was elected mayor after taking nearly 58 per cent of the vote in the last election. Paul Cheng, who is once again running for the top job, placed second with just over 34 per cent of the vote. Also running again are Dan Lenard and Carlos Murray.
