A decision has been made that there will be a by-election to fill the eighth and final council seat; though it could be a while before the position is filled.
Mayor Colleen Smook told Arctic Radio News that while the decision to hold a by-election has been made, it could be a while before the position is filled.
She said that the City has to wait two weeks before the election is officially called, followed by a 30 day period to allow candidates to register. After that, there will be a 30 day campaign window before Thompsonites go to the polls.
At the end of the day, Smook said that it could be toward the end of February before the seat is finally filled.
The eighth council seat has been vacant since the October 25th election.
