Oakville municipal election, 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2006 Oakville municipal elections took place on 13 November 2006, to elect a Regional Government chair and a Town mayor and 6 Town and Regional Councillors and 6 Town Councillors in Oakville, Canada.

Oakville elects two councillors from each of six wards to its Town Council for a total of 13, including the Mayor. Each ward elects one of its two councillors to serve also on the 21 member Council of the Regional Government of the Municipality of Halton. The Mayor of Oakville is a voting member of both Councils. The other members of the Halton Council come from Burlington (7), Milton (3) and Halton Hills (3), plus the directly elected at large Chair of the Region. (For the 2010 Ontario municipal elections, Burlington and Oakville are set to gain an extra representative each on the Regional Council. This will produce new ward boundaries in both municipalities as each adds a 7th ward.)

In addition, school trustees were elected to the Halton District Public School Board, Halton District Catholic School Board, Conseil scolaire de district du Centre-Sud-Ouest and Conseil scolaire de district catholique Centre-Sud. These elections ran in conjunction with those in all other municipalities across the province of Ontario (see Ontario municipal elections, 2006).
