Steve Black is taking another shot at politics.
This time, the former one-term mayor of Timmins is running for the Liberals in the upcoming federal election.
A mining engineer by profession, Black has worked at Kidd Mine Operations before and after his 2014-to-2018 tenure as top politician at city hall. Previous to that, he served as a city councillor from 2010 to 2014. Most recently, his position has been project manager for the Kidd Mine 5 expansion project.
Black was acclaimed Liberal candidate for Timmins-James Bay. Pundits expect the Trudeau minority government to be defeated this fall, triggering an election.
