Georgian Bluffs council has appointed a new councillor to fill its vacant seat.
Isaac Shouldice will take the seat left vacant when Councillor-elect Mike Smith resigned for health reasons prior to the inauguration ceremony.
Council made the decision to appoint the candidate with the next highest number of votes rather than hold a by-election, as permitted by the Municipal Act.
Isaac Shouldice received 1,644 votes in the 2022 Municipal and School Board election.
“I am so thankful to be appointed to represent the people and township that I am so lucky to call home. I look forward to working with my fellow councillors and Township staff,” Shouldice said.
