Are you considering running for Yorkton Council this fall, but are unsure what the position entails?
Then you will want to drop in at a Candidate Information Night Thursday, Sept. 17 at the Gallagher Centre Convention Centre.
鈥淭he idea comes from the City of Regina,鈥� said Yorkton City Clerk Jessica Matsalla, adding it is something new locally.
Matsalla said the program will go over a number of areas that should be of interest to candidates from the time commitment of the position, to an overview of what sort of things Council votes on, to a departmental flow chart to better understand the workings of the City.
The information program will run from 5 to 7 p.m. and is a come and go event.
The nomination period for City Council is Sept, 21 to Oct. 7. And nomination papers will be available at the information night, said Matsalla, and are also available at City Hall and online at www.yorktonvotes.ca
