No Election for Bear Lake Community Commission

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C.- The Chief Election Officer for the Bear Lake Community Commission by-election has declared that there will be no election due to an insufficient number of candidates.

Not one nomination was received.

That means, pursuant to the Local Government Act, the Regional District of Fraser-Fort George is now required to appoint a qualified individual to the position. A report will be presented to the Regional Board at its September 16, 2010 regularly scheduled meeting.

The by-election was called for when former Commissioner Ed Gronning passed away earlier this summer.

The Bear Lake Community Commission provides administration of local services in the community of Bear Lake including fire protection, street lighting, cemetery, ambulance station, recreation facilities and community water services. The Commission is typically comprised of  four (4) locally elected commissioners and one ex-officio commissioner (the director for Electoral Area G).
