Campbell River’s city council officially took office Tuesday night at a swearing in ceremony at the Community Centre. New mayor Andy Adams and councillors Michele Babchuk, Charlie Cornfield, Colleen Evans and Marlene Wright, along with returning councillors Ron Kerr and Larry Samson, took over the reins of the city in front of family and friends and a large crowd of community spectators. City Clerk Peter Wipper explained the importance of the evening to a nearly-full Community Centre gymnasium. “Even though council has been elected, they are not permitted to take office until they swear their Oaths of Office and Allegiance,” Wipper said. “This is important because it sets out council’s moral and legal responsibilities. Council will swear and sign their oaths before a judge.” Returning to do those honours was the Hon. Judge Brian Saunderson, who received the Oaths of Office and Allegiance first from each councillor and, lastly, from Mayor Andy Adams. Following the swearing in of council, outgoing Mayor Walter Jakeway presented the Chain of Office, which is worn around the mayor’s neck, to Mayor Adams. Adams then presented Jakeway and outgoing councillors Claire Moglove and Mary Storry each with a small gift on behalf of council and the city for their years of
Gravel Dan has been apprehended. Between Nov. 23 and Dec. 3, a man calling himself John, John’s Driveways or Gravel Dan was going door to door soliciting business to either resurface driveways or bring a load of gravel to driveways and appeared to be targeting seniors, Cpl. Poppy Hallam of the RCMP said. He was described as Caucasian, approximately six feet tall with short greying blonde hair, sometimes wearing a beige jacket. A media release was sent out warning the public about this male, and the Campbell River RCMP received many tips and were able to locate him on Galerno Road, near Francis Street. A 50-year-old Campbell River man was arrested without incident for fraud and failure to comply with a probation order. He was due to make a court appearance yesterday. At least three people paid this male cash to complete jobs which he never returned to do and there may be more people out there. The Campbell River RCMP are asking the public to call if they had contact with this male and have not yet spoken with police about it. He will be facing several fraud charges and several probation charges.
