Calgary is not the only area community that will be choosing a new mayor October 18.
After four terms, Okotoks mayor Bill McAlpine is not running again.
Two councilors, Beth Kish and Bill Robertson are hoping to replace McAlpine, and their campaigns have been drawn along the contentious line of lifting the cap on growth in Okotoks. Kish is in favour of allowing more growth; Robertson wants to hold the line.
Elsewhere, four mayoral candidates have filed papers in Airdrie, two in Cochrane and six people want to head up town council in Strathmore.
Here’s the list of mayoral candidates:
Airdrie:
Linda Bruce
Peter Brown

Edward Skelding
Okotoks:
Beth Kish
Bill Robertson
Strathmore:
Kevin Baldwin
Michael Ell
Glenn Freeland
