As most are likely aware by now - civic elections in the District of 100 Mile House and Wells, the Cities of Quesnel and Williams Lake, the Cariboo Regional District (Rural Directors for Areas A-L) and School Districts #27 and #28 are scheduled for November 19th, 2011 as per provincial law (Local Government Act and School Act)
As a public service - I'd like to remind the general public that all seats on the School Boards for District #27 (7 seats) and #28 (7 seats), the 12 Electoral Area Director seats on the Cariboo Regional District Board, the 5 seats on the District of 100 Mile House Municipal Council, the 7 seats on the City of Williams Lake Municipal Council, the 7 seats on the City of Quesnel Municipal Council, and the 5 seats of the District of Wells Muncipal Council are up for grabs. If you feel that your elected representative (Municipal Councillor or Mayor, School Board Trustee or Regional District EA Director) is not representating you, this is your opportunity this fall to say "I can do better than the currently elected officials"
However - there is a time committment involved so to ensure you go in the different civic elections with "eyes wide open" and if you are starting to think about running for locally elected office, I strongly encourage you to contact your local elected officials about the commitment (time and otherwise) that you'll have to give to your local muncipal council, regional district board, or school board before you officially throw your name into the ring this fall:
