All Aldermen candidates for Ward 3 and Ward 4 were acclaimed upon the close of nomination on December 3, 1906.[3]
Richard Addison Brocklebank was convinced to run as a candidate for Mayor in November prior to the election, he did so with the backing of Labour on the condition he would run as an independent.[4] In order to be eligible as a candidate for the Mayoral election, Brocklebank resigned from the License Commission a day prior to the election.[2]
