Candidates for elected chief call for unity
Education and the threat of taxation topped the list of concerns of audience members at Monday’s debate between candidates for the position of Chief of Six Nations Elected Council.
With four strong candidates challenging incumbent elected Chief Bill Montour, one might have expected the sparks to fly in Monday’s debate at the Community Hall.

Montour faces challenges from sitting councillors Ava Hill and Ross Johnson.
Political newcomers William Monture and Nathan Wright complete the field. All four challengers spoke confidently about why they should be elected.
