A former town councillor in Bridgewater is vying for a seat in this fall's municipal elections after a four-year absence. Sixty-nine-year-old Beverlee Brown says she has renewed energy and wants to get back on council to help make decisions on environmental and developmental changes. Brown spent 11 years on council from 1997 until 2008 when she was defeated. She says the last four years has been eye-opening.Brown looks to shared services with other municipalities as a future direction for council. Councillors Patrick Hirtle, Jim Bell, Bill McInnis and Greg Ritcey are all seeking re-election. Deputy Mayor David Walker is going after the mayor's position while current mayor Carroll Publicover is not re-offering. Meanwhile, Councillor David Mitchell plans on running in the next provincial election and isn’t running for town council. Jennifer MacDonald is the only other resident to confirm with CKBW/HANK-FM News that she is running. Elections will be held October 20.
