February 1, 2022

Following the decision of Council, the Town of The Blue Mountains is now accepting applications to fill one (1) vacant Councillor position for the remainder of the 2018 – 2022 term of Council.

If you are interested in applying, information packages are available on the elections page on the Town website or by contacting the Town Clerk. The vacant Councillor position will be filled by appointment and as a result, no formal election or public vote will be conducted.

Background Information
The vacancy was created due to the appointment of Peter Bordignon to the position of Deputy Mayor, from his previous role as Councillor. The Deputy Mayor position was declared vacant due to the passing of Deputy Mayor Rob Potter.

At the January 17, 2022 Council meeting, one (1) Councillor position was declared vacant, and Council considered staff report FAF.22.012 Options to Fill Vacant Councillor Seat for the balance of the 2018 to 2022 Term of Council.
