For those of you waiting since last falls municipal election to know who will prevail as mayor of Fort Erie, Ontario, it is incumbent Mayor Doug Martin.
Fort Erie Mayor Doug Martin
In a legal, carefully monitored recount of ballots in Fort Erie this January 28, Martin remains the town’s mayor over competitor Ann-Marie Noyes, a former town councillor, by a five-point spread.
Last fall, Martin and Noyes locked horns in a municipal election fought over everything from the diminishing of acute care services at the Fort Erie hospital site, to plans by developers to build a multi-storey condo in Crystal Beach and plans by others to build a speedway for high-speed racing cars in rural Fort Erie.
As of this January 28, Martin has prevailed in that campaign by five votes, which may not necessarily stop those opposing his visions for the town from speaking out.

Canadian voters have spoken and Congratulations are in order for Mayor Martin.
While there are issues pending in which I disagree with him, I do so with complete respect for him as the duly elected Mayor of “our home away from home”.
Now it’s time for ALL of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Taxpayers, Civil Servants, Residents, Elected Leaders.
We have a responsibly to our community and ourselves, but primarily to our children, to give it our BEST shot !
I sincerely wish him well.
