The Yunesit’in First Nation will have a new face at the Council table.
Jessica Setah was elected as a Councillor in an election that was held yesterday. (Monday)
Two of the four Council seats were up for grabs, and incumbent Rosalie Montgomery won the other one.
There were six candidates in total.
Setah topped the polls with 102 votes followed by Montgomery with 71.
Incumbent Anthony Billyboy had 70 votes, narrowly missing out.

There were a total of 173 ballots cast out of 376 eligible voters.
Lennon Solomon remains Chief for two more years.
He wasn’t up for re-election this time around, and won’t be until 2028.
