Blackfalds town councillor Dean Wigmore has resigned.
 
Wigmore had taken possession of a new home out of town and was thus no longer eligible to serve on council.
 
During last night's meeting, Mayor Melodie Stol said Wigmore would be "sadly missed."
 
Because his resignation comes within six months of a general election, a by-election won't be required to fill the vacancy.
 
Wigmore had served on town council since 2010.
