MacNeil Challenging Walker For Bridgewater Mayor Seat

The town of Bridgewater will have a new mayor after the October elections. David Walker, a long-time town politician will face Gary MacNeil, a first-time mayoralty candidate. Current Mayor Carroll Publicover has decided not to re-offer. MacNeil, who was born and raised in Bridgewater, moved out west and became a CEO for an oil manufacturing company before returning to his grassroots. He feels the timing is right to make a push for the mayor's seat.



MacNeil feels the downtown core and the LaHave River are two areas that could be better utilized to draw in tourists. Municipal elections will be held October 20.
