There is once again council quorum in the Village of Morrin and a Mayor and Deputy Mayor have been appointed following the regular Wednesday, December 15 council meeting.
Following the October municipal election, the village opened
nominations for a by-election after two of three councillors-elect resigned ahead of the organizational meeting; two new councillors were acclaimed following the nomination period.
Newly appointed councillors Chris Hall and Lorraine MacArthur were appointed as the village’s new Mayor and Deputy Mayor respectively.
Together with Councillor M’Liss Edwards, who was elected during the municipal election and sworn in during the organizational meeting in November, they will take over council duties from Official Administrator Harold Johnsrude.
Mr. Johnsrude was appointed to oversee the village in December 2020 in lieu of council quorum when two of the village’s three previous councillors resigned last year.
