Valemount residents did not need to head to the polls on Oct. 15 to vote for their next mayor and council in the 2022 B.C. municipal election as everyone was acclaimed.
Incumbent mayor Owen Torgerson was elected mayor in 2018 with 31.1 per cent of the vote in what proved to be a three-way race.
He was acclaimed as mayor in 2022 after no one else stepped up to compete for the job.
