We have yet to hear from George Sirk, but Director Anderson says:

“Great gratitude to everyone who participated in this election process and all of you who voted. Thanks to George for your continued willingness to serve this community, I trust you will find a good way of doing that. And such gratitude to my core election team who have just provided unwavering and real positive support to me in the last weeks. It has been a real treat to work with you. I really look forward to continuing to have the honour of representing this island at the regional district board, but even more importantly to continue the good work on many island projects that I think are of real great importance to this community. So thank-you to everybody and here’s to another four years.”

Residents of Area B were also asked two referendum questions, both of which passed:

Question 1: Are you in favour of the Strathcona Regional District preparing a bylaw to establish a service for funding community halls on Cortes Island on the condition that the bylaw would require the approval of the electors before it is adopted?
