Wondering when we will pass a law requiring people running for a municipal office to be actual residents of that municipality. Currently there are more than handful of people, including one in Courtenay who lives in Nanaimo!!!, who are running for Council or CVRD Director or School Board in Comox Valley electoral regions that DO NOT live in. Have to give one’s head a shake, both the said candidates and the public, and the municipality…or is this a provincial issue that the municipalities can’t control? If so, CRAZY!
