The Town of Hudson Bay needs a new councillor.

Following the resignation of former Coun. Darin Barker due to him moving away from the community, Hudson Bay will host a byelection to fill the vacant seat.

Three nominees threw their hats in the race:

• Lorne Babyck, retired business owner and long-time Hudson Bay citizen
• Doug Binkley, electrician and long-time Hudson Bay citizen
• Meagan Dickson, SaskTel Customer Service Rep with a young family

Theresa Parkman, Hudson Bay’s chief administrative officer, will review the election results to see who will receive a year-long term as a councillor before the 2020 municipal election.
