Citing health reasons, effective immediately, Ralph Fossum has resigned from his position as Councillor with the District of 100 Mile House. Councillor Fossum was first elected to Municipal Council in 1988 and has served for more than 5 terms.
“It has been an honour to serve alongside Councillor Fossum on Council. His extensive knowledge and experience will be missed at the Council table,” said 100 Mile House Mayor Maureen Pinkney. “Every member of Council chooses to serve because we are enthusiastic about our citizens and our community. Councillor Fossum exemplifies this passion and has held strongly to serving every resident equally and being fiscally responsible throughout his tenure. Ralph’s intelligence, commitment, sense of humour and selfless dedication to the community will certainly be missed.”
A by-election will be held to fill the vacancy left by Councillor Fossum’s resignation. Nominations for candidates will be opened in the coming months once Council appoints a Chief Election Officer.
