Electoral Area C Director Rob Gay will continue on as Chair of the Regional District of East Kootenay for 2015.

“I am honoured to be re-elected as Chair,” says Gay. “I look forward to working with our new and returning directors on our current priorities and identifying new opportunities during our strategic priorities planning session in April.” This will be the Electoral Area C Director’s fourth term as RDEK Chair. He has been on the Board since 2005.

The Board Chair and Vice Chair are elected annually.
