Red Lake Mayoral Candidate: Fred Mota

Badiuk says he would cut the mayor’s salary by 15% and freeze taxes for four years while pushing housing and development.

  • Red Lake residents head to the polls on Oct. 26 to choose between incumbent Mayor Fred Mota and challenger Warren Badiuk, a current councillor seeking to lead the municipality through rapid development.
  • Challenger Warren Badiuk argues Red Lake's appearance has gone "steadily downhill," pledging to improve public spaces and housing. If elected, he proposes a 15 per cent reduction in the mayor's salary and no tax increases over the four-year term.
  • Mayor Fred Mota defends his record, citing work with the Kenora District Service Board to secure funding and emphasizing that government relationships are essential for managing upcoming infrastructure like the bridge to Pikangikum First Nation.
  • Both candidates prioritize economic expansion, addressing the Kinross Great Bear Gold Project and Frontier Lithium development. Badiuk focuses on identifying residential lots to address "zero builds" in recent years, while Mota argues his experience navigating government processes is vital.
  • During a 10-day period leading up to the Oct. 26 election, voters can cast ballots online, by phone, or in person at the Municipal Office in Balmertown. Eligible residents must verify their voter information to participate.
