PATRICIA HARCOURT PHOTO Viking Town Council bravely took a ladder up to the roof of the Carena Complex to be part of an official lighting up ceremony for the recently installed new Carena sign. The sign is a life size replica of the original one on the old Carena building before it burned in 2005. The six-ft. high red lettering is internally illuminated by LED lights that light up at night.

The deadline for nominations for the Village of Holden’s byelection was Monday, Oct. 7. But with no nominations filed yet, Returning Officer Christine Mackay has had to extend the deadline. “We are currently in Day 2 of nominations because we have received no submissions yet,” Mackay said. “Residents can still hand in nominations from 10 a.m. to noon today, and if we don’t receive any then we will have to keep it open
till Tuesday, Oct. 15.” According to the Alberta Municipal Affairs, if no nominations are received by the deadline set at the outset, the Returning Officer has to keep them going for six days before contacting the Alberta Municipal Affairs. Mackay who has worked with the Village of Holden for 28 years, and has been the Returning Officer another time said, “I’ve seen this happen before and by Day 2 someone had filed a nomination.” At the time of going to press, the Village of Holden had not received any nomination.
