Residents of Wells cast their ballots in the 2022 B.C. municipal election choosing their next four councillors.
The small Cariboo-region district is fresh off the heels of a February byelection, which saw a former Quesnel councillor, Ed Coleman, take over from Gabe Fourchalk as mayor.
Fourchalk resigned in November 2021 citing a “perceived conflict of interest” due to his work as an equipment operator at Barkerville Gold Mines, which sought an expansion in the Wells area.
