Good evening. I'm Lucy, and this is The Northern Current for Monday, October twenty-sixth. Ontario voters are heading to the polls today to choose mayors, councilors, and school board trustees. In Hamilton, polls remain open until eight this evening, and voters can cast a ballot at any voting location in their ward. Bring identification showing your name and qualifying address. Meanwhile, Hamilton police say a thirty-year-old man has been charged with arson-related offenses following a fire involving vehicles and a home on the mountain late Sunday. Investigators are working with the Office of the Fire Marshal to determine what happened. And at Queen's Park, attention turns to Ontario's fall economic statement, scheduled for Thursday, October twenty-ninth, as the province faces questions about affordability and its deficit. We'll continue following these developments, including municipal election results as they become official. For more verified reporting, visit thenortherncurrent.com. I'm Lucy. Thanks for watching.
