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 RMCP search for missing Lower Sackville woman 26 أبريل، 2025 Canadians at pope’s funeral say ceremony reflected his... 26 أبريل، 2025 2alarm blaze decimates home in Middle Sackville 26 أبريل، 2025 Israeli airstrike kills 10 people, half of them... 26 أبريل، 2025 كارني يندّد بالحصار الغذائي الإسرائيلي على قطاع غزة 26 أبريل، 2025 القضاء يلغي قراراً كيبيكياً بزيادة الرسوم الدراسية لغير... 26 أبريل، 2025 الزعماء في حركة مستمرة مع اقتراب الحملة الانتخابية... 26 أبريل، 2025 Teen arrested, weapons seized after threats against Halifax... 25 أبريل، 2025 Liberals maintain ‘commanding’ lead in Atlantic Canada polls 25 أبريل، 2025 Second-degree murder charge laid in latest intimate partner... 25 أبريل، 2025
