Barb Desjardins is running again. Seems likely that, just like 2014 and 2018, she won't face a serious challenger. I've only heard about one non-incumbent organizing to run for Council and I'd say they have a decent shot.

Election update:
Last Friday, Chris Munkacsi became the first person to step forward as a candidate for Esquimalt council. Munkacsi said, in a statement, he has lived in Esquimalt for 14 years, and has been a director of the Esquimalt Residents Association, a member of the Esquimalt Chamber of Commerce, and a commissioner on the Township’s Advisory Planning Commission.
"Now more than ever, our focus needs to be on our global climate and our community’s people and to keep Esquimalt affordable, financially responsible, and environmentally livable," Munkacsi wrote.

Even if all of Esquimalt's residents disappeared from the face of the earth, the effect on global climate would be negligible.
As (just, by the slimmest of margins...) an Esquimalt resident I resent that remark: all Esquimaltians matter.....!

Matter yes; impact on global climate, all but nil.

I wasn't being facetious. There are fewer than 18,000 residents in Esquimalt. This is an infinitesimal percentage of the world's population.

For the record, I have nothing against the residents of Esquimalt. Nevertheless, a candidate focusing their municipal election campaign on global climate is at best, virtue signaling and at worst, misguided in the manner of the existing CoV council.

In light of the sometimes exaggerated responses to posts here on VV, I suppose I did not immediately recognize your post as facetious AsE. Also, in my defense, I had not yet had my first cup of coffee when I read your post above.

Maybe he can do like the Netherlands is doing to the cows and mandate that hey produce 50% less poop.

Oak Bay Mayor Kevin Murdoch has announced plans to seek a second term in office.
Murdoch said that in his first term, he tried to offer a different approach to good governance, addressing financial shortfalls and tackling housing issues. And despite the pandemic having an impact on council’s goals, the district’s financial health, services and transparency have improved, he said.
“Now that we’ve dealt with a lot of the structural and systemic issues, there are more improvements in services and new initiatives to come,” Murdoch said.

Not really much of an election in Oak Bay. Hard to believe it's actually adjacent to the CoV.
