  • Global News has learned that not one, but two byelections are in the wind, with long-serving Councillor Adriane Carr set to announce her resignation.

The article from MSN discusses the potential for a double byelection in Vancouver due to the possible resignation of a second city councillor, Mike Klassen, following the recent departure of another councillor, Sarah Kirby-Yung. Klassen, who has been serving as the city's deputy mayor, is considering stepping down to focus on his family, particularly as his wife is expecting their second child. This comes at a time when Vancouver is already dealing with the vacancy left by Kirby-Yung, who resigned to run for a seat in the provincial legislature. If Klassen resigns, Vancouver would need to hold byelections for both council seats, which could lead to significant changes in the city's political landscape. The article also mentions that the city council has been experiencing a high turnover rate, with several members having left their positions in recent years for various reasons.
