Elections Canada released a list of confirmed candidates for the federal election on Wednesday (April 9), including for the four ridings in the greater Kawarthas region: Peterborough, Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes, Northumberland-Clarke, and Hastings-Lennox and Addington-Tyendinaga.
While candidate nominations closed on Monday, it took a day for Elections Canada to update its list with any last-minute candidates from across the country.
