New Brandon. Because of the faith and belief of the people of Brandon, we are going to have change in Brandon, this is fabulous, Decter Hirst said after becoming Brandon's first female mayor. [...] the only incumbents who were returned to council were ushered back to their seats due to a lack of competition, with Garth Rice (South Centre), Murray Blight (Victoria), Jim McCrae (Meadows) and Jeff Harwood (University) all winning by acclamation.

Speaking only for myself, at each election that I have put my name forward, the people of Richmond Ward has had the opportunity to choose to vote for someone else as I have never been elected by acclamation.

In early June, the custom council authorized a new round of elections which saw former chief Felix Antoine and four new councillors acclaimed to office -- an election that [Terry Nelson] refuses to recognize. Nelson also rejects the legitimacy of the two individuals claiming to be the chairman and co-chair of the new custom council.
Terry Nelson was removed as chief by the custom council and I was elected chief by acclamation," Antoine said Saturday. "The court has upheld my position (as chief) and the first thing I'm going to do is look at the books to see what our real financial situation is.
Nelson and his council spent the past several months in the Court of Queen's Bench challenging the authority of the custom council and their right to call an election which saw Antoine chosen a...

We're so impacted by what's going on next door," said [Greg Fehr]. "I'll be very interested to see what happens in Ritchot and Hanover -- there are a lot of races there," said Fehr.
"[Teulon] hasn't had an acclamation in a number of years," he said. "We get a lot of positive comments about what we're doing," he said. A new library is set to open by the end of the year, and the town took over a lagging modular housing park for people aged 50-plus that's now thriving. [Bert Campbell] said people from as far away as Thompson have been lured by Teulon's golf course and good hospital.
"There's something to be said for having a community return you instead of being acclaimed," Fehr said. "There's nothing better for democracy, as far as I'm concerned, than an election.

A mix-up at Manitoba Curling Association headquarters resulted in media throughout the province being given the wrong winner of the Interlake junior women's zone berth and denying [Ashley Jahns] and her team -- Sydney Arnal, 15, Jennifer Klapp, 14, and Kristin Cherewyk, 13 -- their rightful 15 minutes.
With just one entry -- Ste. Anne's Alyssa Vandepoole -- entered in a neighbouring zone, the MCA decided to combine that zone with the Interlake zone and allow five junior women's teams to compete for two berths rather than just hand out one berth by acclamation.
Zone 1: Colton Lychuk, Jesse Isles; Zone 2: Braden Watling, Amanda Tymchuk; Zone 3: Brett Fitzmaurice, Erin Renard; Zone 4: Joey Witherspoon, Danielle Wood; Zone 5: Mike Johnson, Tara Graham; Zone 6: Mitchell Halstead, Amy Agnew; ...

Transcona Coun. Rick Boychuk lost to Shirley Timm-Rudolph. The two traded the Transcona seat for several elections.
This election, four councillors are looking at acclamation: Justin Swandel in St. Norbert, Lillian Thomas in Elmwood, Gord Steeves in St. Vital and Russ Wyatt in Transcona.
That number could have been five were it not for retired nurse Arlene Draffin Jones, who's planning to run against [Daniel McIntyre Coun]. Harry Lazarenko in Mynarski.
