Incumbent Mayor Jim Watson did not run for re-election, citing his age as the reason behind his decision.[3] This election was the first since the 1997 municipal election that an incumbent mayor or its equivalent[lower-alpha 1] did not run for re-election. The mayoral election was won by businessman and former journalist Mark Sutcliffe.[4]
Candidate nominations opened on May 2 and closed on August 19.[5] The election was held on the same day as the 2022 Ontario municipal elections.
