RM OF NIPAWIN — The RM of Nipawin is seeking nominations for the position of councillor for Division 1, following Brandon Perkins stepping down from the role.

The councillor would be responsible for making governance decisions on municipal policy and bylaw and attending monthly council meetings that run 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. as well as additional special meetings.

“It’s definitely an eye-opener when you’re on council as to the types of things that you deal with and the things that we do. It’s a good experience to have,” said Nathalie Hitkins, the municipality’s administrator, who previously served on council.

“If you have the drive, if you have the heart and you care about your community I think that person would be the perfect person [for the role].”

Nomination forms may be obtained and submitted at the municipal office at 529 Service Street, Codette, during normal office hours until Sept. 15 at 4 p.m.

Eligible candidates must be 18 years or older, reside in Saskatchewan for six consecutive months immediately preceding the date of the nomination form, and be able to vote in the RM of Nipawin.

RM of Nipawin voting guidelines state that the voter must either reside in the rural municipality, own land or have a spouse who owns land in the municipality for at least three consecutive months preceding the election, or be a chief executive officer of a duly incorporated co-operative corporation or a religious association that has been accessed.
