Sayward, a small British Columbia village, is seeking to dissolve its municipality, aiming to become the first community in over a century to do so. The Sayward Taxpayers Alliance, fed up with years of infighting and legal battles, has gathered enough signatures to petition the provincial Ministry of Housing and Municipal Affairs. The alliance seeks to hand over governance to the Strathcona Regional District, aiming to cut costs and focus on real community needs. The village has faced leadership turnover, financial struggles, and service closures, with provincial officials emphasizing the need for deep community input and studies on services before a decision is made.
