Critical by-election date set

A provincial by-election has been called for Wednesday, January 30th in the Nanaimo electoral district.

The seat became vacant when MLA Leonard Krog resigned on November 30th after winning the Nanaimo mayor’s chair in the October municipal elections.

Candidate nominations for the by-election close on Wednesday, January 9th.
