Those candidates elected (I think) are in bold type. All typographical errors are my own. For official counts and breakdowns by ballot box, please see the linked PDF files or contact Bill Johnston (534-1400 ext 121) at the Town of South Bruce Peninsula.

And on the question of dropping the ward system for an open vote across all candidates and all regions, the referrendum is defeated with 2838 in favour, 3329 against.
