The Cultus Lake park board has voted unanimously to bring public question period back to the board meetings.

The board suspended question period in June, a decision that proved extremely controversial among residents.

However it was brought back by park board commissioner Charlotte Hall.

Hall also suggested changing the question period bylaw to give the board the option of shutting it down, and to allow only questions and no commentary.

However the board voted 4-3 in favour of simply restoring the original bylaw.

Board chair Bob McCrea says given the number of letters from the public asking to reinstate question period, he’s glad to see it back.
