(3) Appointment of Nominee by Acclamation
Two regulated member positions on Council were open for election in the 2024 election. In accordance with the CDTA bylaws, because the number of nominations received is less than the number of vacancies on Council, the Nomination and Election Committee appointed by acclamation, Gary Wakelam (RDT), to the CDTA Council on a 3-year term in accordance with the CDTA Bylaws.
(4) Review of the Composition of Council
As per Appendix A of the CDTA Bylaws, the “Council Transition Plan” implements staggered election terms for Regulated Member Councillors.
