Voters will choose a new Winnipeg city councillor to fill the seat left empty after the death of Coun. Jason Schreyer earlier this year.

The City of Winnipeg announced a byelection for Oct. 25 in the Elmwood-East Kildonan ward.

Voters in the byelection will also choose school trustees for the Louis Riel School Division Ward 3 and Pembina Trails School Division Ward 1.

Jason Schreyer, 57, died in April serving over a decade on city council.

Schreyer was remembered by colleagues as an independent voice with a musical flair — often singing during council prayers. He was the son of former Manitoba Premier and Governor General Ed Schreyer and was first elected in 2014.

More information how to vote or run as a candidate is available on the City of Winnipeg's website.
