What ward are you in? Checkthe city's website.

The ward battles feature four seats vacated by councillors who are either running for mayor as is the case with Capital Ward councillor Clive Doucet or retiring, as is the case with Rideau-Rockcliffe councillor Jacques Legendre, Knoxdale-Merivale councillor Gord Hunter and Kanata South councillor Peggy Feltmate.

Seventy-five of the 109 councillor candidates, including 14 incumbents, took the time to tell the CBC's Maggie Padlewska why voters should consider them on Oct. 25.
