Two new names have been added to the ballot for city council.

William Gomes, a budget analyst in the territory's Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and Robin Williams, a managing partner at Roy's Audio Video Unlimited, are each vying for one of eight seats on council.

Gomes is an accountant with Environment and Natural Resources and on the side, provides tax services to Yellowknifers out of his home.

Through his tax business, Gomes talks to residents and conversations regularly involve issues in the city.

Gomes says he is not entering the race with an agenda, rather, he is vowing to act according to the will of people.

In addition to co-managing Roy's Audio Video, Williams is the vice-president of community theatre company Ptarmigan Ptheatrics.

In an interview Wednesday, he said the idea of running for a seat on council crystallized after the recent birth of his second child.

If elected, said Williams, he will be a champion for the tourism sector and throw his weight behind investments in tourism infrastructure.

Williams isn't shy about possibly becoming a public figure in town.
