Municipal Election
Municipal elections occur every four years, unless a seat becomes vacant and a by-election is required during the four year term.
On behalf of our council, the business community and our residents, I would like to extend our warmest welcome to the Village of Muenster.
Muenster has a small population of only 430 people, but it still has so much to offer. We boast a K-12 school, an established business community, the beautiful St. Peter’s Cathedral with its famous Imhoff paintings and a strong selection of volunteer and community opportunities. If it’s recreation you're after, we have an active sports club, the community curling rink, a hockey rink and state of the art baseball facilities. Our wonderful public library hosts a variety of activities for those with other interests and the Seniors Hall hosts such organizations as the ceramics club for those with an artsy side.
Seniors in our community can expect accessibility to affordable housing and activities suited to them as well, with such opportunities as weekday morning coffee and weekly cards at the Seniors Hall.
Whether you have chosen our community for work, family or just a fresh start, you have made an excellent choice. Muenster is a place where neighbors can become friends and everyday offers opportunities to get involved and make lasting memories.
If you have any questions or would like more information on anything Muenster has to offer, please visit our website or the village office would be happy to assist you.
