Walsh wins trustee by-election in a walk
By Nelson Daily Staff
Sheri Walsh of Crescent Valley won Saturday’s Kootenay Lake School District trustee by-election by a landslide over challenger Bob Price.
Walsh won the trustee race by a wide 245-36 margin over the Bonnington resident.
The by-election was held after former trustee Barb Lindsay left the position to pursue a volunteer opportunity in Zanzibar.
Walsh will serve the remainder of the term that is being vacated by Lindsay.
The next general election is scheduled in 2014.
The Slocan Valley/Bonnington School District boundary is comprised of that portion of Electoral Area ‘H’, including the Village of Slocan, Winlaw, Slocan Park, Crescent Valley and South Slocan and that portion of Electoral Area ‘F’ to Falls Creek, including Bonnington.
A total of 292 people voted with only one ballot spoiled.
