Another Whitehorse resident has indicated his intention to run in the Dec. 1 city byelection to the fill the seat on council left vacant by Doug Graham.

Kirk Cameron announced his plans this morning.

The 53-year-old downtown resident could not be reached for comment before press time this afternoon.

But he notes on his website that Whitehorse needs strong leadership to properly guide the city through the growth it is experiencing, while attending to the needs of those who need support.

Working co-operatively with First Nation governments is essential, as is having a city council that listens, maintains the lifelong resident of the Yukon.

City council has set Dec. 1 as the day of the byelection, with the advance poll scheduled for Nov. 24.

To be eligible to vote, residents must be a Canadian citizen, have lived in the city for at least a year, and are at least 18 years old as of polling day.

A veteran of 11 years on city council, Graham had to resign his seat after he was elected on Oct. 11 to serve in the territorial legislature as the Yukon Party MLA for Porter Creek North.

Porter Creek resident Cam Kos announced his intention to run in the byelection earlier this week.

Kos has been a frequent critic of the city's planning initiatives, particularly its push to provide infill housing in established neighbourhoods and recognized green spaces.

Mike Tribes, who challenged Graham as the NDP candidate, also announced earlier this week that he is 95 per cent sure he will contest the byelection.

Cameron ran unsuccessfully as the Liberal candidate in the December 2010 territorial byelection to fill the Whitehorse West seat left vacant by the death of Todd Hardy. The former NDP leader died of leukemia in July 2010.

Cameron also served for two years as deputy minister of the Executive Council Office during the short-lived government of former Liberal premier Pat Duncan from 2000 to 2002.

As of noon today, 16 people had picked up nomination papers, which must be supported by the signatures of at least 10 eligible voters.

Nominations will open Nov. 2 and close Nov. 10.

The next general municipal elections are scheduled for October 2012.
