Waterloo Region District School Board candidate dies suddenly

Fraser was a trustee candidate in the townships of Wellesley and Woolwich, which announced his death in a news release Wednesday afternoon.

Both townships will be removing Fraser’s name from internet and telephone ballots. Only Woolwich is providing paper ballots and will be removing Fraser’s name from paper ballots as well. As well, public notices of Fraser’s passing will be posted at all in-person voting sites.

Four other candidates are still running for the single trustee position, so the election will proceed with the remaining candidates, the townships said.
