The vote is scheduled to take place on Thursday, Oct. 26, 2017, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Polling locations will be set up at Westview Public School, Princess Margaret Public School, John Diefenbaker Public School and Arthur Pechey Public School.

The by-election is being held to replace trustee George McHenry, who passed away in June 2017.
