**As of October 21, 2024, Mayor Ward Stamer resigned his position as Mayor of the District of Barriere after a successful election as MLA of the Kamloops North Thompson. Councillor Rob Kerslake was then appointed by Council as Acting Mayor during the vacancy.

In accordance to the Local Government Act, a member of Council that wishes to run for a vacated Mayor seat in a By-Election, must step down within 14 calendar days after Council appoints a Chief Election Officer. Acting Mayor, Councillor Rob Kerslake, formally announced his intention to run for the position of Mayor in the 2025 By-Election, therefore he officially stepped-down as legislatively required on December 29, 2024. This has resulted in a Councillor seat vacancy. A By-Election has been scheduled for March 1, 2025 to fill the Mayor vacancy and one (1) Councillor vacancy.**
