WILLIAMS LAKE — A byelection will be held in the spring for the Electoral Area F Director in the Cariboo Regional District. 

Electoral Area F Director-Elect, Conrad Turcotte, was unable to take his oath of office by the December 7th deadline following the October 20th election. 

The CRD says it was due to a personal matter. 

According to the Williams Lake Tribune, Turcotte suffered a stroke on the day after the election, and has been hospitalized ever since.
