LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — There will be a race to become the mayor of Logan Lake.

Ahead of nominations closing for B.C. municipal elections on Sept. 9, a list from CivicInfo BC shows two candidates to become Logan Lake’s mayor: incumbent Robin Smith and challenger Jacqueline Newman.

Rounding out the rest of Logan Lake’s council race, incumbents Marion Bell, Peter Martell, Al Smith and Garry Youd will seek re-election, while Amber Chong and Claire Newman will not.

In addition to the four incumbents, five outsiders are looking to get into council. The list is:
