 : David Boys (Quebec/Atlantic) chose not to run for reelection.  Three candidates chose to run:  incumbent Siri Tillekeratne (Western Canada) and two Ontarians (Lisa Kessler and Carl Madden). Since the CC's rules prevent any region from having more than three members, and there were already two sitting CC members from Ontario, Siri was automatically reelected by acclamation.  Thus the election became a two-person race for the one vacant CC seat.  Lisa finished ahead of Carl in the voting.
-: Both Tony Leah (Ontario) and Randall Thomas (Western Canada) chose not to run for reelection.  Four candidates ran for the two vacancies:  Sary Karanofsky (Quebec/Atlantic), Mad Palazzo (Ontario), Juraj Pivovarov (Western Canada), and Andy Saunders (Ontario).  Mad got the most votes, followed by Andy, Sary, and Juraj in that order.  Since there were already two Ontario members on the CC, Mad's election gave Ontario its maxumum three members.  Therefore Andy could not be elected despite accruing the second-highest vote total.  Third-place finisher Sary was thus elected.
