[edit] Wards

Incorporated in 1995, the previously unincorporated communities of Winfield, Okanagan Centre, Oyama, and Carr's Landing remain as separate wards within Lake Country. In the municipal government, one councillor is drawn from each of these wards, while the mayor, and two further councillors are elected by the people at large.

Just curious - does this mean that Lake Country is the only BC municipality with wards. Or are there others?Skookum1 22:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't think Lake Country is the only municipality in BC to have wards. I believe that the particular system in Lake Country, where some councillors are elected in wards, and others are elected at large, is unique in the province.Vortigern 6:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
