Elected Body
Although Bill 125 indicated an election would occur on the first Monday of February 1965, provisions were made to extend the deadline for up to two years upon petition by the majority of the land-owners (per area). Such petition was approved and sent to the Provincial Government by the Council on October 21, 1964; the first election thus occurred on January 25, 1967. In the meantime, the Cities and Towns Act was modified so that alderman seats would have to be numbered. Each alderman was thus attributed a numbered seat on December 14, 1966.

The next election is scheduled for November 2009.

Famous quotes containing the words elected and/or body:
“But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
“Just getting in the pool for seven straight hours is unbearable to me.... It’s grueling. There’s nothing physically pleasurable about it. If you’re doing a hard workout, you’re throwing up in the gutter. At night you cling to your pillow and just hope that your body revives before you have to go back and do it again.”
—Diana Nyad (b. 1949)
