Advanced voting today in Burns Lake by-election to elect Mayor

Today is advanced voting day in the Burns Lake by election for a new mayor with village Councillor Chris Beach and former Fire Chief Jim McBride as candidates.

McBride was the chief for nearly 17 years in the village, served on Tofino council for two years, and was an environmentalist against the logging industry in the late 80s through the

Councillor Beach studied political science writing his M.A. on the flooding of the Ootsa Lake communities, and has served on council since 2013. He’s running on economic stability and growth, expanding relationships with First Nations and infrastructure improvements.
