Rankin Inlet’s hamlet council chose a new councillor out of two applicants on Monday.
They selected Marvin Dion in a secret-ballot vote. He had applied to the position, along with Troy Rauhala.
Both candidates were eligible and qualified to seek the position, said an announcement from the hamlet with news of council’s decision.
Dion was scheduled to be sworn in on Sept. 11, 2024, and will serve the balance of that term, which ends with the next municipal election, scheduled for Oct. 26, 2027.
The new representative will fill a vacancy that opened after former councillor Art Sateana resigned from his council seat in July for personal reasons.
Sateana was acclaimed to hamlet council in October 2023 at the age of 27, along with six other members.
Oh ok 👍 👌
