There is a three-way race for mayor in Senneville with outgoing District 2 councillor Charles Mickie and outgoing District 4 councillor Julie Brisebois in the running along with former mayor George McLeish. McLeish served four terms as mayor and one as councillor. He was ousted by outgoing Mayor Jane Guest in 2013.
Dollard-des-Ormeaux District 2 incumbent councillor Errol Johnson has been acclaimed as have Pointe-Claire District 3 (Valois) councillor Kelly Thorstat-Cullen, Beaconsfield District 2 councillor Karen Messier and Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue District 3 councillor Francis Juneau.
The entire municipal slate representing tiny Île-Dorval has also been acclaimed:

There were no acclamations in Dorval, Baie-d’Urfé and the boroughs of Lachine, Pierrefonds-Roxboro and Île-Bizard-Ste-Geneviève.
Curiously enough, a search for a good visual for this post – and for a virtual congratulation postcard to our winners – would bring this old postcard repeatedly. Congratulations!
