2025 was a year of change for the council of Gilbert Plains Municipality.
Two separate by-elections were held this year to replace councillors that resigned prior to their full term being completed in 2026.
But Reeve Jim Manchur has no concerns over having to have had multiple by-elections in one year.
"For various reasons, they decided to not carry on with council. And we are certainly looking forward to the new people that stepped up, and are happy that they were able to do that. We are looking forward to the elections that are coming up in the fall of 2026, which will be another opportunity for more people to take on the challenge of being on council."
Kristen Rubeniuk won the by-election held this past spring. while Richard Kruk earned a seat at the council table by winning another by-election in the fall.
