HRM has elected Andy Fillmore as the city’s next mayor, as the former Liberal MP beat out former regional councillors Waye Mason and Pam Lovelace, along with 13 other candidates. Fillmore isn’t the only new face on council as Janet Steele defeated incumbent Iona Stoddard for the District 12 seat. Laura White is taking over Waye Mason’s District 7 seat while Nancy Hartling picked up a win in District 13. Hartling told 95.7 NewsRadio she’s very excited to take on the role. “I couldn’t be more delighted and really just goes to show that hard work pays off,” she said. “You can’t know a neighbourhood, you can’t know a community until you walk it, you can’t understand their problems until you hear them. It’s a priceless experience and I’m so grateful that I did it.” This while John A. Young looks to be taking over for Lisa Blackburn in District 14 and Jean St-Amand is stepping into Tim Outhit’s former post in District 16. Both Blackburn and Outhit chose not to re-offer this year.

Following his win, Mancini said he wanted to run again because he still feels he has work left to do. “I have another vulnerable community in my district near the Caledonia area, Churchill, Kennedy Drive and so I really didn’t accomplish what I wanted to accomplish there,” he said. “The other reason I wanted to come back was to do some work for first responders, particularly firefighters and police officers and mental health support.” Other returning councillors include Sam Austin, Cathy Deagle-Gammon, Becky Kent, Trish Purdy, Patty Cuttell, Kathryn Morse, Shawn Cleary and David Hendsbee who is projected to win. It took the night for all votes to be counted to ensure Billy Gillis’ seat in council who replaces Paul Russell in District 15 Lower Sackville – Beaver Bank. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post «مايكروسوفت»: نعيش «موسم الذكاء الاصطناعي الثاني» فقط … فما الآتي؟ next post بولتون: مقتل السنوار “دليل” على نجاح ما فعله نتنياهو ببايدن You may also like Gas prices rise in HRM after carbon tax... 4 أبريل، 2025 Man facing charges after gun and ammunition seized... 4 أبريل، 2025 Canadian economy lost 33,000 jobs in March, biggest... 4 أبريل، 2025 Atlantic premiers hold the line on retaliatory measures,... 4 أبريل، 2025 Halifax only paying for demolition of fire-damaged building... 4 أبريل، 2025 Carney says Canada will match U.S. auto tariffs 4 أبريل، 2025 تعهدات بواليافر وسينغ وبلانشيه لمواجهة رسم ترامب 3 أبريل، 2025 كندا تردّ بالمِثل: رسوم جمركية بنسبة 25% على... 3 أبريل، 2025 رسوم ترامب تدفع ’’ستيلانتيس‘‘ لتعليق العمل أسبوعيْن في... 3 أبريل، 2025 رسوم ترامب المتبادلة على عشرات الدول: كندا نجت... 3 أبريل، 2025
