There is a chance, albeit a small one, that Niagara residents may end up voting for regional chair in October.
A court hearing is set today as the city of Toronto challenges the Ford government's bill that cuts the size of council from 47 to 25.
Included in that bill, the cancellation of planned elections for regional chair in Niagara, Peel, York and Muskoka.
Lawyers for Toronto will argue today that reducing the number of city councillors in the middle of a municipal election violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
The Ford government will counter municipalities are creatures of the province.
