Quesnel’s Cody Dillabough has withdrawn his candidacy in the race for a seat on Quesnel City Council.
The withdrawal deadline for all candidates is 4 p.m. today, Sept. 21.
Quesnel’s chief election officer Gina Albers confirmed the withdrawal, but did not comment further.
Last month, Dillabough was confirmed to have had his appointment as Barlow Creek Volunteer Fire Department chief rescinded by the Cariboo Regional District, after the CRD made public a resolution from a July 13 in-camera board meeting.
“Any issues related to Mr. Dillabough, in his time as chief in Barlow Creek VFD, are a personnel matter, and we will not discuss further. I can confirm that the Board of Directors rescinded his appointment as chief of the Barlow Creek VFD,” CRD chief administrative officer John MacLean told the Observer via email.
A request for comment from Dillabough has not yet been returned.
