Council Vacancy

Wanted: someone to sit on Kenora City Council for one year.

The city has decided to seek applications from the public to fill thevacant council seat created by the resignation of Andrew Poirier last month.

Chief Administrative Officer, Bill Presentanz says it will be up to council to select someone qualified from the applications they receive.

Presentanz says a by-election was ruled out due to the cost of staging the vote.

He says a mail-in ballot would cost the city about 40 thousand dollars to prepare.
