Peterborough municipal election, 2006
The 2006 Peterborough municipal election was held in the city of Peterborough, Ontario, Canada on November 13, 2006. All municipal elections in the province of Ontario are held on the same date; see Ontario municipal elections, 2006 for elections in other cities.
The election chose the mayor and city councillors to sit on the Peterborough city council.
==Mayor==
*John Pritchard was a township representative, deputy reeve, and reeve in Cavan before moving to Peterborough in 1992.〔"Ex-Cavan reeve seeks city seat," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 27 September 2000, B1.〕 After a failed bid for the Peterborough city council in 1997, he was elected for Northcrest Ward in 2000. During the campaign, he supported a controversial parkway extension through municipal green space.〔Joseph Kim, "Action on The Parkway urged by candidates," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 10 November 2000, B2.〕 After the election, he chaired the transportation committee and continued to promote the parkway.〔Joseph Kim, "Rezoning OK'd despite objections," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 26 June 2001, B1; Joseph Kim, "Pritchard tries end run with Parkway motion," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 5 September 2001, A1.〕 In 2001, he was one of only two councillors to vote against a grant to Showplace Peterborough.〔JoElle Kovach, "City bailout for Showplace a grant, not a loan," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 11 October 2001, B1.〕 He later recommended replacing the city's Memorial Centre with a new building and was the only councillor to vote against a renovation plan.〔JoElle Kovach, "Councillor leans toward building new arena for city," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 2 February 2002, A1.〕 Pritchard also opposed a comprehensive smoking ban.〔JoElle Kovach, "City wants meeting to clear air on smoking ban," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 26 February 2002, A1.〕 In 2003, he voted against a symbolic motion opposing the American invasion of Iraq.〔JoElle Kovach, "Council votes to ask Ottawa to stay out of Iraq conflict," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 14 February 2003, A1.〕 He was defeated in his bid for re-election in 2003. There was some speculation that Pritchard could become the Liberal Party candidate for Peterborough in the 2006 federal election, although nothing came of this.〔Elizabeth Bower, "Liberals fish for candidate," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 6 May 2006, A1.〕 In the 2006 mayoral election, he said that he would work for high-quality jobs in Peterborough.〔Brendan Wedley, "Pritchard runs for mayor," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 23 February 2006, B1.〕
*Gord Vass was fifty-four years old at the time of the election; he worked for a taxi firm and ran an online distribution company. He reserved the name "Royal Canadian Equity Party" (RCEP) with Elections Ontario in 1999, though he has never registered the party. He has said the RCEP was intended to address issues of the working poor, including fair taxation and an expanded social safety net. He is the brother of city councillor Len Vass. The 2006 mayoral campaign was his first bid for public office.〔Brendan Wedley, "Brothers could face off for mayor's job job: Next election could see Vass vs. Vass," ''Peterborough Examiner'', 4 January 2006, A1.〕
