North Battleford City Councillor facing criminal charge

Transparency is one of the fundamental core values of the City of North Battleford and City Council, and in support of that value, the City of North Battleford would like to advise the public that Councillor Ross MacAngus has been charged with a criminal offence. 

Section 120(1)(d)(i) of The Cities Act provides that a member of Council is disqualified if the member is convicted while in office of an offence punishable by imprisonment for five years or more. However, unless and until there is a criminal conviction, there is no basis to remove the Council member from his elected seat on Council.  

The City will refrain from commenting further at this time and respect the judicial process while the matter is prosecuted through court. The City may consider commenting further once the judicial system has determined an outcome for the charge. 

Mayor Kelli Hawtin & Dr. Randy Patrick, City Manager
