Yorkton will be going to the polls on Nov. 9 to vote for a new mayor and the next council. But for people who have never run before, what does that mean? People considering a mayoral or council run had the chance to find out on the evening of Sept. 17, as the City of Yorkton held an information meeting to help people learn what the job entails. City of Yorkton staff and current members of City Council were on hand to answer questions, give advice and talk to people considering a run for a council seat.
With the departure of Mayor Bob Maloney, there is guaranteed to be one new face on council once the vote happens later this year. People considering a run for either the mayor’s chair or a council seat can still visit www.yorktonvotes.ca to get more information. Nominations begin on Sept. 21 and end Oct. 6.
