Only two candidates were nominated for four seats on the Village of Valemount council.
The Village of Valemount council will be in the unusual position of having to appoint their fellow village councillors, once they are sworn in after Oct. 15.
“This is my first time dealing with this situation," Torgerson said on Friday. “We lost two incumbents to work-life balance. One took another job and one is self-employed. I get it, it’s not for everyone.” Assuming none of the remaining candidates’ nomination papers are challenged, they will be officially acclaimed on Sept. 19, Torgerson said. Once they are sworn in, following the Oct. 15 general election day, the three members will temporarily make up quorum for the village council.
The village of roughly 1,000 people is located roughly 300 km east of Prince George, near Mount Robson Provincial Park.
