The Department of Municipal and Provincial Affairs is advising that the date of the 2025 general municipal election for all cities, towns, and local service districts, previously set to take place on September 30, 2025, will be deferred to observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in 2025.

The 2025 general municipal election will now take place on October 2, 2025.

In accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, general elections are held every four years on the last Tuesday in September. In 2025, this date coincides with the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to honour survivors and raise awareness about the terrible legacy of residential schools in Canada.

As per the new Towns and Local Service Districts Act, which comes into force on January 1, 2025, an election for local service districts will also take place every four years with the first being on October 2, 2025.
