A by-election is expected to be held in Riverview in October.

Town Council held a special meeting last week after the resignation of Councillor Russell Hayward.

He stepped down effective August 22.

Hayward served from 2012 to 2016 and again from 2021 to 2023.

Town Council agreed unanimously to accept his resignation.

It will be submitted to Elections New Brunswick for their approval to be included in the October 23, 2023, by-election.
