Roseau chooses new chief
Page 10
The Roseau River Band in southeastern Manitoba has a new chief.
Felix Antoine won the March 16 election with 114 votes, beating out former chief Lawrence Henry.
Henry, who had been on council for more than a decade, garnered 108 votes. Vice-chief John James received 52 and band member Mary Chaskey earned 18.
The race was not, however, as close as the numbers suggest because the 70 votes won by the other candidates could easily have gone to Lawrence, Chief Antoine said.
