Exactly 10 weeks from today - voters in the Cariboo-Chilcotin will be heading to the polls to elect their locally elected officials for a new 4 year term commencing in December until Oct 2018.
So far - no announcements for School Trustee candidates in either Quesnel or WL/100 Mile. While we've had announcements for races for Mayors in Quesnel, Williams Lake and 100 Mile House. 3 Councillor candidates announce in Williams Lake, none in Quesnel/Wells and 1 in 100 Mile House and CRD Director election announcements as follows:
Area A - Ted Armstrong (incumbent) vs Susan MacNeill
Area D - Deb Bischoff doesn't seek re-election. Her current Area D Alternate Director, Steve Forseth, seeking to take over as Area D Director
Area L - Bruce Rattray doesn't seek re-election. No announcements on anyone wanting to take over
As we approach mid-September and the two week mark before candidates can officially file with their local Chief Election Officer or their designate, here are two media articles I found that are relevant to the forthcoming race:
