Total number of elected officials in the CRD

This has come up a number of times lately because of a graphic in Douglas Magazine that says we have 136 elected officials but this is not right.   No one seems to every be entirely certain of the number, so here it is all its gory detail:

• 13 Mayors
• 78 Councilors
• 25 School Trustees
• 3 CRD Electoral Area Representatives
• 9 Chiefs
• 35 Band Councilors
• 7 MLAs
• 3 MPs 

This is a total of 173 elected people.

The purposes of discussion of amalgamation, we have 91 councillors and mayors.
