The Gabriola Fire Protection Improvement District Annual General Meeting was held on June 18th.
The audited financial statements were not presented; the AGM was adjourned to be re-opened at a later date, likely in July, so that this requirement can be completed.
The election was held, and as reported by the Sounder Alert, three new trustees were elected. 1035 ballots were cast, 3 were spoiled and 2 were rejected.
- Elected to a Three year term: Oliver Bussler (764 votes) and David Chorneyko (734 votes)
- Elected to a Two year term: Wayne Mercier (690 votes)
At the Regular Meeting held after the Election, the Board elected Wayne Mercier as the Chair of the Board.
There were some contentious discussions during the meeting, and we will be posting content relating to that. However, the fire hall is very echoey and at one point there were a number of mysterious loud noises. Both factors make some audio illegible and other parts difficult to understand, so transcribing the audio is challenging. We'll get further details up as soon as we can.
