Councillor Stendie Resigns from Town of Blackfalds Council
The Town of Blackfalds announced the resignation of Councillor Rebecca Stendie, effective March 4, 2024, during the March 14 Regular Council Meeting. Rebecca Stendie has been on Council since October 2017, and the Town thanks her for her years of service to the community.
According to the Municipal Government Act, the action triggers a by-election that must be held by July 2, 2024. Council has directed the Mayor to request a waiver of that requirement due to the timing and costs of a by-election. More information on the by-election will be announced as it becomes available.
Council wishes Councillor Stendie all the best in her future endeavors.
