As we’ve mentioned before, we can’t cover every race, but we can highlight some of the races we think are most interesting. This week we're focusing on the Halton Regional Chair race. For the first time since the position became elected in 2000, there are three candidates in the race with clearly established credentials and contrasting platforms.

We discuss Halton Region’s crucial vote last week against expanding the urban boundaries of its municipalities to allow development on farmland.
