Electors in Area C head to the polls in February
A by-election is being held on February 25, 2023 for Electoral Area C Director. The position fell vacant after the BC Supreme Court ruled the October 15, 2022 vote invalid due to issuance of ballots to electors outside of Electoral Area C. The petition was submitted to the Court by the PRRD following a recount.
You may be eligible to vote in the by-election as a resident elector if you reside in Electoral Area C, or as a non-resident property elector if you own property within the voting jurisdiction but do not reside within it. The candidates for the by-election, in order of nomination filling, are Brad Sperling and Suzanne Haab.

Much work has been done on the new Chetwynd Public Library since the groundbreaking event in May 2022. The 8,600 facility being constructed northeast of the Chetwynd & District Recreation Centre, is following a ‘living room of the community’ design concept while meeting the National Energy Code and BC Energy STEP Code.
The Chetwynd Library Advisory Committee, with members from the Library Board, District of Chetwynd Council, Library Director and Area E Director from the PRRD, are providing their recommendations and feedback to ensure the building will be designed according to the needs of the community.
The library will feature a children’s program room and reading/play area, teen reading and lounge area, adult reading and lounge area, public computer area, meeting space, makerspace and virtual reality room, multi-purpose spaces, cafe and open seating, outdoor patio, more storage and a storytelling space.
