What are Neighbourhood Constituencies? The District of Lake Country was incorporated in 1995 with a neighbourhood constituency (ward) system as a defining feature. It allows residents to vote for a Councillor to represent the ward in which they live - Carr’s Landing, Okanagan Centre, Oyama or Winfield. Although they are elected by the residents of their Ward, Ward Councillors serve the community as a whole. Lake Country Council is made up of one Councillor from each of the four Wards, two Councillors At Large (elected by all voters in Lake Country) and one Mayor. Lake Country is the only municipality in BC with neighbourhood constituencies. Don't know what Neighbourhood Constituency you're in? Have a look at the map. |
