Tonight marks the final gathering for the current roster of Prince Rupert Council, as the Mayor and Councillors work on their final Agenda for this session of Municipal governance.
With all of the incumbents, with the exception of Councillor Judy Carlick-Pearson seeking re-election on November 15th, there is the chance that some around the chamber tonight won't be coming back to Third Avenue on civic business.
The voters of course, will make that decision on election day and depending on the results, we could see some new faces arrive on the municipal scene when the new Council take their seats later this month.
As for this evenings final session, Council may be one person short for the proceedings, as Councillor Carlick-Pearson is shifting her focus towards School District matters and tonight features the public forum for the School District election, something we imagine that the Councillor is inclined to attend.
For those that do settle in for the evening however, a fairly full night of work awaits, with the listings on the Regular Council Agenda, featuring a string of reports to be reviewed on the night, the overview of which can be found here.
