One of the two candidates for the Village of Burns Lake by-election has withdrawn his name from the ballot. Michael Riis-Christiansen’s withdrawl means Wes Hart will become village councillor by acclamation.
Hart will be formally received in his new position at the next regularly scheduled meeting of Village of Burns Lake council, on May 14, 2013.
The seat became open and a by-election triggered with the resignation of former councillor Quinten Beach citing time constraints.
