Two directors with the Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) have been unseated following the preliminary election results on Saturday.

Wall had served as a director on the RDCK board for the last eight years.
“Thank you to everyone that has reached out to offer words of thanks and encouragement for what comes next,” said Wall in a Facebook post on Monday. “Work never stops here. It just changes hands. You asked for a change, and you have gotten it. I’m good with that.”
