October's municipal election will see at least nine candidates vying for six seats on Portage City Council.

Cinema Centre owner Rick Deleau announced his intention to run this afternoon.

He'll approach the campaign differently, by contacting Portage residents, and finding out what's important to them. He'll take that back to City Hall Council can take action.
Deleau feels he has something to offer, after running a successful business since the early 80's.

He's grateful for the support of people who've urged him to run, saying City Hall needs new, younger, and progressive ideas. Deleau tried unsuccessfully for Council in 1998.
