In the 2013 provincial election, two sitting councillors, Linda Reimer and Selina Robinson, were elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. Reimer initially speculated in the press about continuing to perform both roles, or simply taking an unpaid leave of absence from her city council duties until the 2014 municipal election, to spare taxpayers the expense of a by-election; [2] the council ultimately decided on July 8, 2013 to hold by-elections to replace them.
