SHUNIAH, ON—The first First Nations woman in Ontario to serve as a mayor hopes to retain the office after the municipal election in October.
Wendy Landry, who initially won the job in 2014, on Monday announced her candidacy for re-election as mayor of the Municipality of Shuniah.
Landry said that under her leadership, the current council has accomplished a lot, including a strategic plan, a feasibility study for an industrial park, updates to numerous bylaws, and many successful funding applications to support community programs.
