Witless Bay council last week approved a number of new committee appointments.
Deputy Mayor Jacob Hayden and councillor Margaret Swain were appointed to the recreation committee; councillors Ralph Carey and Gerard Dunne were appointed to the public works committee; councillors Ralph Carey and Justina Nawaz were appointed to the finance committee; and Deputy Mayor Jacob Hayden and councillor Justina Nawaz were appointed to human resources.
Mayor Trevor Croft sits on all committees.
The committee appointments are the first since a number of members, including Nancy Burke, Lorna Yard, and Alan Richards, resigned earlier this year and since Nawax and Swain had been elected to council.
The appointments were approved unanimously, excepting that Swain and Mayor Croft were absent.
