Puslinch Council To Fill Vacancy By Appointment
by Mike Robinson.
Puslinch council is moving forward to fill the vacancy created by the sudden death of councillor Wayne Stokley on May 29.
Council decided on June 13 to fill the position through an appointment by council, rather than hold a costly byelection.
Mayor Dennis Lever said “it was certainly a sad situation, but it has to be addressed.” He explained the seat must be officially declared vacant and council needs to decide how the seat should be filled.
