Interviews will be held prior to the
Nov. 2 meeting of North Huron
council to find two new Blyth ward
councillors.
At the Monday night meeting,
clerk-administrator Kriss Snell said
that four applications had been
submitted for the positions.
Seeking the position are Ray
Hallahan of RR3, Blyth, Brock
Vodden of Blyth, John Roe of Blyth
and James Woodley of RR5,
Wingham.
To represent a specific ward the
person need not live there, but must
be a resident or property owner of
the Twp. of North Huron.
“The ward system is not recognized
under the Municipal Act,” said Snell.
Snell said it is hoped that the
decision will be made after the
interviews, but council does have
until Nov. 21, 60 days from the time
the seats were declared vacant.
The two vacancies occurred when
Blyth councillor Greg McClinchey
resigned his position this month,
shortly after councillor Murray
Nesbitt passed away as the result of
an industrial mishap.
Sympathy is extended to Anne and
Rick Elliott in the death of Anne’s
father this past week.
Happy birthday to Cliff Snell who
celebrates on Oct. 22. John Nesbit
who celebrates on Oct. 25, David
Craig and Bob Scott who both
