Provincial Election Results Causes Shake-Up within the Combined Councils

Last week’s provincial election has caused a shake-up within the Combined Councils of Labrador.

Janice O’Neill is the Executive Director of the CCL.

She says the winners in two districts in Labrador were serving on the council.

Nick McGrath, the newly-elected MHA for Labrador West, was serving a term as President of the CCL.

Randy Edmunds, the newly-elected MHA for the Torngat Mountains district, was the Vice President for Labrador North.

O’Neill says both of them had to resign from the council following their respective wins last week.

Nath Moores, the former VP for the Labrador Straits, is now serving as the interim President of the CCL.

He will fill the post until a President is chosen during the CCL’s Annual General Meeting in February.

O’Neill says they’re in the process of trying to fill the seat left vacant by the newly-elected MHA, Randy Edmunds.

She says they will be approaching Inuit Community Governments along the north coast to see if they have anybody interested in filling the VP position.

The new VP for Labrador North will serve the remainder of the term which ends in February, 2013.
