Election season has been thrust upon us once again.

With previous Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua not running for re-election this will be an interesting mayoral campaign to watch out for.

Municipal elections have become front of mind as the province recently announced the creation of strong-mayor powers for major cities like Toronto and Ottawa. The question is, will these powers come into effect within York Region, especially Vaughan, with its proximity to downtown Toronto. Here are the contenders:
