Twelve of the 13 Chilliwack school board candidates have filed their financial disclosure statements in time to avoid a fine.
Candidates for school, municipal and regional elections, held Nov. 15, had to file their papers by Feb. 13 at 4:30 p.m., listing items such as expenses and contributions. Such documents are required 90 days after each election. Candidate Karen Conway did not meet the deadline, and is now subject to the obligatory $500 fine and a new deadline of March 13.
Of those who filed, the expenses declared range from about $20 to more than $6,700.
Scanned copies of the financial statements are available at elections.bc.ca/lecfa.
