Another Wells Council resignation

After Robin Sharpe resigned his position as Mayor of the District of Wells last Friday - a community about 1 hour east of Quesnel.

Lorraine Kozar has now elected to resign her seat as a District of Wells Councillor, effective today (Monday, February 19th)

Read her resignation letter here

Due to the two recent resignations on Wells Council - that Council will now be forced to hold an by-election to fill these two vacant seats and thus Section 54(3) of the Local Government Act (LGA)(waive by-election when death, disqualification or resignation occurs in year of general local election) is not available, due to the number of vacant seats is above the required number to waive a by-election in the year of a general local election as per Section 54(3) of LGA

Well maybe the people who are the most negative can now fill these positions and do a better job!
