Pelly Trail School Division to cut trustees to seven wards
The Pelly Trail School Division Board of Trustees votes to redefine ward boundaries, cutting trustees from nine to seven to balance representation. Superintendent Marshall Draper cites shrinking population, with wards ranging from 250 to 900 electors, and plans allotment of 500 to 600 voters per ward. Three year terms will follow, with school board elections aligned to municipal elections in late October after bylaw readings and provincial approval.
