After the deadline to register as a candidate for the municipal elections passed on Friday afternoon, Litchfield Mayor Colleen Larivière was elected by acclamation to her third mandate. She said that facing no opposition was a sign from the population that they were content with her previous mandates.

“I’m very grateful that I’ve got another four years ... without any competition I guess you could say, but for me it shows that the population is satisfied, so that’s the important thing,” she said.

She said that some of the accomplishments that she was proud of during her time in office were the construction of the municipal office and the construction of Keon Road to circumvent a dangerous exit on Hwy. 148.

As far as priorities for the next four years, Larivière said that they were planning on working closely with the Campbell’s Bay council to build a new fire hall for the department that the two municipalities share.

As far as priorities at the regional level, she pointed to the Fibre Pontiac project as one of the files that she was hopeful about.
