MAPLETON – The empty seat on Mapleton council has been filled by a familiar face.
Lori Woodham was named the new councillor following a vote during last night’s council meeting. The former Mapleton councillor and current
Committee of Adjustment Chair won the seat with a 3-1 vote, read by Clerk, Larry Wheeler.
Former Mapleton mayor and councillor Neil Driscoll, and Alma resident Jason Hutten also put their names in the hat.
Each candidate was given five minutes to speak and then councillors were each allowed to ask one question.
Mayor Gregg Davidson asked Woodham if she agreed or disagreed with the removal of development charges on new homes.
Following the vote, Mayor Davidson thanked each of the candidates.
Lori Woodham will be sworn in during the November 26th council meeting. The seat became vacant following the resignation of Martin Tamlyn after accepting a job as climate change coordinator in Centre Wellington.
