After serving the community for over two decades, a long-time councillor has announced their resignation from the Clive, Alberta Village Council.
Councillor John Smith has been a dedicated member of the council since 1998, and has played a crucial role in shaping the village’s development and progress. His resignation comes as a surprise to many, as he has been a well-respected and influential figure in the community.
In a statement released by the village council, Mayor Jane Doe expressed her gratitude for Councillor Smith’s years of service and his contributions to the village. She also acknowledged the impact of his resignation on the council and the community as a whole.
Councillor Smith’s decision to step down was not an easy one, as he has been a passionate advocate for the village and its residents. However, he has cited personal reasons for his resignation and has expressed his confidence in the remaining council members to continue the village’s growth and prosperity.
During his time on the council, Councillor Smith has been involved in various projects and initiatives, including the development of the village’s recreation center and the implementation of sustainable practices. He has also been a strong voice for the community, advocating for their needs and concerns.
The village council will now begin the process of filling the vacant seat left by Councillor Smith’s resignation. According to the Municipal Government Act, a by-election must be held within 90 days to fill the position.
As the community bids farewell to Councillor Smith, his dedication and commitment to the village will not be forgotten. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the community and his presence will be greatly missed.
