Former mayor Kevin Iksiktaaryuk resigned Tuesday
Baker Lake councillors haven’t decided yet whether to appoint a new mayor from the current council or hold a byelection to replace former mayor Kevin Iksiktaaryuk, who resigned Dec. 10.
The decision will be made at the council’s first meeting in January, said Sheldon Dorey, Baker Lake’s senior administrative officer.
In the interim, deputy Mayor Trevor Attungala is leading council.
Iksiktaaryuk gave notice on Tuesday that he had resigned from the mayoral position, citing “ongoing responsibilities, high expectations, and stress” as reasons for stepping down.
He was in his first term as mayor and previously served as a hamlet councillor.
