WELLINGTON, P.E.I. — Nobody wanted to be mayor, but Wellington, P.E.I., got one anyway. There were no mayoral candidates in Monday’s province-wide municipal elections, so the provincial government simply appointed the outgoing mayor, Alcide Bernard, to a four-year term. Wellington — with a population of 400 — is nestled in the heart of P.E.I.’s Acadian community, about a 20-minute drive from Summerside. Bernard said last month he had earlier served as a municipal councillor, and was approaching retirement age and wanted to take a break.
