Fruitvale voters will decide Saturday on who should be their mayor, but won’t cast ballots for councillors.
That’s because Tamara Pearson has withdrawn from the race, leaving just four other candidates, who have been acclaimed: incumbents Karen Halifax and Julia Mason, plus Jimmy Swanson and Sunee Vektoor.
The mayor’s race pits incumbent Wes Startup against incumbent councillor Catherine Guesford.
Warfield and Montrose, meanwhile, have had their entire councils elected by acclamation, although Warfield’s Warren Mirko is now running for the BC Conservatives in Kootenay-Monashee and says if elected, he won’t try to serve on council as well.
