Antigonish councillor and current deputy mayor Willie Cormier announced he will not run in the upcoming municipal election.
Cormier thanked residents for their support over the last 16 years, adding he feels with the renewed interest in municipal politics, he feels the community will be in good hands so it is the perfect time to call it a day. He said it is great there are lots of people running, with a mixture of new people and season veterans.
