How- ever, while our neighbours in Flin Flon, Thompson, and The Pas all elected a new Mayor, we in Snow Lake acclaimed one. No one other than long-time resident and businessperson Kim Stephen was willing to take on the demanding duties of a community in rebuild mode; she stepped up to the plate and appears ready for the task the role of Mayor brings to bear. Notwithstanding the acclamation of the Mayor, residents did vote for the six councilor positions spanning the 2014 -2018 term. Of the four incumbents in the race, two were returned to office; Brenda Forsyth- Flamand (315 votes) and Aldon Kowalchuck (257 votes) were suc- cessful; while Angela Enright (140 votes) and Dave Mayer (89 votes) were not. Rounding out the six member congress is: Peter Roberts (268 votes), Richard Jones (261 votes), Robin Turnbull (168 votes), See COUNCIL on page 6...
