Thompson Nicola Regional District (TNRD) advises that a byelection must be held in cases when a director dies, unless it is in an election year.
Due to the fact that TNRD Area “O” Director Bonnie CruzelleMyram recently passed away after battling cancer, a byelection will most likely be held for Area “O” the first part of November 2012, with nominations for the byelection starting 45 days prior.
Currently filling the position until the byelection, is alternate director Mike Fennell, who previously served two terms as mayor of Barriere.
