The 1994 Brantford municipal election was held on November 14, 1994, to elect a mayor, councillors, and school trustees in the city of Brantford, Ontario. In the mayoral contest, Chris Friel defeated one-term incumbent Bob Taylor. ==Results== *Bob Lancaster was raised in the small community of Little Lake, Ontario. He was first elected to the Brantford City Council in 1978, winning a seat in the city's second ward. He was re-elected without opposition in 1980 and was returned again in 1982. After standing down in 1985, he returned to council in 1991 and served another term. Lancaster was fifty-four years old in 1994, worked as a realtor, and was seen as a pro-business candidate.〔''Brantford Expositor'', 10 November 1994, pp. 2-4.〕 After the 1994 election, he complained to the Ontario Press Council about election coverage in the ''Brantford Expositor''. The case was dismissed.〔"Complaint against Expositor dismissed," ''Kitchener Record'', 6 July 1995, F8.〕 He later chaired both the Brantford police services board and the Brant and Brantford Housing Authority as a citizen appointee.〔Heather Ibbotson, "Mayor lashes out at judge for comments," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 February 1999, A1; "Second term for Lancaster," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 June 1999, A3; "Lancaster back as housing chair," ''Brantford Expositor'', 13 June 2000, A6; Richard Beales, "Lancaster remains as police board chairman," ''Brantford Expositor'', 17 January 2002, A3.〕 His nephew Stephen Lancaster has also been a councillor.〔Vincent Ball, "Council table shake up: Four new faces elected by Brantford voters wanting change," ''Brantford Expositor'', 11 November 2003, A3.〕 *Robert E. Smith (died November 15, 2009) was a veterinarian. He graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College (later a part of the University of Guelph) in 1956 and operated a hospital practice in Indianapolis, Indiana, until 1975. He later moved to Brantford and opened a new practice in 1978. He became a founding member of the Society of Ontario Veterinarians and retired in 2002.〔Susan Gamble, "Aliens sighted in fright fan's garage," ''Brantford Expositor'', 7 June 2002, A3; "Former Brantford councillor, veterinarian killed in tractor mishap," ''Hamilton Spectator'', 16 September 2009, A2.〕 Smith served one year on the Brantford city council after defeating incumbent councillor Charles Bowen for the second position in the city's fifth ward in 1991.〔''Brantford Expositor'', 13 November 1994.〕 He was narrowly defeated by Marguerite Ceschi-Smith in 1994. A decade later, he wrote public letters calling for increased protection for the elderly, for the dismissal of Brantford's highest-paid municipal staff, and against granting legal status for religious arbitration in Ontario.〔Robert E. Smith, "Suggestions to protect the elderly" (), ''Brantford Expositor'', 12 February 2004, A10; "Ex-councillor offers radical advice," ''Brantford Expositor'', 8 March 2004, A8; Dr. Robert E.
