The Town of Arborg is holding a Council by-election on September 23rd, with two candidates running. Mayor Randy Sigurdson explains how a vacancy opened.

"One of our councillors just got some extra work, found that it's going to be too much for her to continue as a councillor. So, she resigned and of course that opened up the situation then for a by-election."

Sigurdson says it's good to see current interest in the position.

"In Arborg we have traditionally not have not had a lot of people running for Council, so it's good. We are having interest shown in looking into the runnings of the town."

He urges residents to come out.

"We need one more councillor at large for the town of Arborg. So, we always would like to get the town out to vote to show their support, and elect the candidate of their choosing."
