May 14 – Linda Larson, Liberal candidate won the election for Boundary-Similkameen as a Member of the Legislature.

May 27  – Linda Larson, Townj Councillor asked permission to not being paid in a period prior to a by-election. A motion to that affect was passed last night.

Once Elections BC declares officially the winner in the riding and once the new MLA is sworn in by the Lieutenant-Governor – a resignation will likely take place. Larson said Monday – “a resignation date has not be chosen”.

Once a letter to that effect is received by the Town of Oliver there is a window of 80 days in which staff have to organize such a by-election resulting in a one year period for the new councillor.
