School Board elections are coming

Submitted

Beautiful Plains School Division

It’s an election year for all municipalities in Manitoba.  Every four years we get to change or confirm the people who speak for us at the local level.  We elect mayors and reeves, we elect councillors, and we elect school board trustees.
