Regional council has elected a new deputy mayor for Halifax Regional Municipality.

On Tuesday, councillors elected District 11 Councillor Patty Cuttell to serve as deputy mayor for the next year.

“Deputy mayor Cuttell brings significant professional experience to her role, including her national leadership at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities,” said Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore.

Cuttell is taking over the role from Councillor Tony Mancini.

“The trust placed in me by my colleagues means a great deal, and I look forward to working closely with the Mayor’s Office, Council and residents to represent Halifax with pride and move our shared priorities forward,” said Deputy Mayor Patty Cuttell.

Cuttell was first elected to regional council in 2020 to represent Spryfield-Sambro Loop.
