ESTEVAN - Jason LeBlanc is the new reeve of the RM of Estevan.
LeBlanc was acclaimed to the role on Thursday, after Janet Severson withdrew her nomination form.
Severson and LeBlanc filed their papers prior to the 4 p.m. deadline Wednesday afternoon. They had until 4 p.m. Thursday to withdraw their documents, and Severson ultimately decided not to run.
Former reeve Terry Keating stepped down in the spring. Don Hilstrom has been the acting reeve since that time.
Next week's edition of the Mercury will have more on this story.
