In the Town of Comox, the mayoral race was suddenly no longer, in the lead up to the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
Former mayor Russ Arnott had announced his intention to run again, but posted to his Facebook page on Sept. 8 that he had to drop out. Nicole Minions has been acclaimed as mayor of Comox.
