This morning, the Minister of Education and Child Care issued an order cancelling the by-election scheduled for March 8, 2025 to elect a new trustee for the Board of Education to replace Ciel Patenaude, who resigned on November 30, 2024. The Board has learned that the Chief Election Officer responsible for setting the date for the election scheduled the election for a time outside that permitted by the School Act. The Board has also learned that adequate steps to obtain the Provincial voters list within the legislated time frames were not complied with. As a result, it was necessary to cancel and reschedule the election.
The candidates who have already been nominated have been notified of this cancellation. The byelection will be rescheduled at the earliest possible opportunity. A new nomination process will be held. Updates will be provided by the Board as they become available.
Any questions can be directed to Cheryl Lenardon, Superintendent for School District #27 (Cariboo-Chilcotin)
