Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Kenora is a single-tier city with an at-large council (no wards). Mayor and six Councillor seats included.
- MAYOR ACCLAIMED: Mayor Andrew Poirier was the only certified candidate for Mayor and is acclaimed (status incumbent-running, acclaimed: true). The Councillor race (13 candidates for 6 seats) is contested.
- Candidate source: the City's Certified Candidates page and the certified list PDF (https://media-003-ca.cdn.govstack.com/kenora-018-ca/media/verbwfuh/certified-candidates-final-augut-27-2026.pdf); candidate websites/emails from the City's Candidate Profiles page (https://www.kenora.ca/your-government/elections/candidates/candidate-profiles/). Sitting council from the City's Councillors page. Retrieved 2026-10-09.
- Councillors Bob Bernie and Mort Goss seek re-election (the certified list prints their names as 'Robert (Bob) Bernie' and 'Morton (Mort) Goss'). Councillors Graham Chaze, Lindsay Koch, Lisa Moncrief and Kelsie Van Belleghem are not on the certified list.
- Sitting members are contacted through City web forms, so no official email is recorded. Candidate emails kept only where campaign-style; personal-looking addresses left null. No phone numbers copied.
