Six suburban mayors have won their seats by acclamation Friday as nominations closed for the Nov. 1 municipal elections.
Five of the six mayors are returning to their posts for another four years: Maria Tutino of Baie D'Urfe, Anthony Housefather of Cote-Saint-Luc, Edgar Rouleau of Dorval, John Meaney of Kirkland and Bill McMurchie of Pointe-Claire.
