A provincial adviser has been working with the Village of Sayward to resolve ongoing friction at municipal meetings.

‘It’s hard to be sitting at that table’: Sayward councillor quits over dysfunction
After almost a-year-and-a-half as a councillor for the Village of Sayward, Kohen Gilkin has resigned from his seat due to the dysfunction in the municipality.
Gilkin was elected as a councillor in the 2022 election, and he says his love of politics brought him to running for the seat.
“I’ve always been a fan of politics,” he told CHEK News in an interview. “And so I thought, you know what, this gives me the opportunity to show my community that there are younger people that are willing to run, and there are younger people that are willing to get involved and start, helping democracy, push our institutions forward and get younger people elected.”
