Council Re-Cap The Victoria County Municipal Council was sworn in during a ceremony in Baddeck November 3, 2020. Blair Gallop, Victoria County Returning Officer presented the 2020 election results. Overall, the all-electronic election ran smoothly with a voter turnout at 65.6%. Results were available shortly after the polls closed on October 17. The busiest day for online voting was election day when 22% people voted, followed by 17% on October 7, the first day polls wer...e opened. Bruce Morrison was returned as Warden; Larry Dauphinee was returned as Deputy Warden. Council Committees were assigned to all councillors. Council jumped right into work discussing rural gas stations, specifically a plan to close the Ingonish Irving and how this could impact Emergency Measures and Tourism as well as the decision to pull Air Canada flights from the JAD McCurdy airport in Sydney during the down turn in air travel due to the pandemic. Due to a technical issue, this council session was live streamed as individual images and not as a single recording. Council minutes are posted on the Victoria County website, once approved by council.
