“Tonight is primarily encouraging people to go vote tomorrow if they haven’t already,” said Donald Meriam, North Battleford council candidate.

“It’s important they exercise their right to vote in all elections…whether they agree with me or feel another candidate is fit for election[or] re-election,” he added, referring to voting at all levels of government.

In Meadow Lake, Mayor Merlin Seymour said regardless of who the new council is made up of, he looks forward to working with them all.

“We have a lot of exciting projects current being worked on and looking forward to continuing providing our residents with services and opportunities within Meadow Lake.”
