Saskatoon councillor Darren Hill gets to remain a member of city council and continue representing the residents of Ward 1.
A Court of Queen’s Bench decision dismissed an application from the City of Saskatoon on whether Hill should be forced to resign his seat after he missed the Feb. 16 deadline to file campaign expenses from last November’s civic election.

In his decision, Justice Richard Danyliuk said it was not a “black and white” case and Hill’s personal circumstances had to be taken into account.
