It appears Deputy Mayor, Sheldon Forgette may take a run at being the city’s next mayor.

Forgette outined his personal journey over the last three years and believes he can make a real go at it.

“It’s been a true honour to be able to serve as your councilor and deputy mayor over the last 3 years. I won’t lie, it hasn’t been easy. Being in politics is nothing but easy, but I’m someone who likes to look for the opportunity in everything good or bad. This quality and all the good people we have here in our city is what I think got me through the days.

I literally became the budget chief & deputy mayor for a city at the age of 22. I had owned a small business and worked to buy rental properties at the age of 18 and most of my work experience was in technology. I have a huge learning curve ahead of me.

Forgette says he’s forming an exploratory committee before making an official announcement ahead of next year’s election.
