For the first time in history, there are more women on city council than men, and Mayor Elect Sharie Minions says she’s very excited about that.
Joining Mayor-elect Minions will be incumbent councillors Dan Washington and Ron Paulson, past council member Cindy Solda, and new councillors Debbie Haggard, Helen Poon and Ron Corbeil.
In the regional district vote, Tanya Shannon will be filling the big shoes for Beaufort left by retiring representative Mike Kokura, while Diane Bodnar beat Darren Deluca by just 5 votes for the Cherry Creek seat, and John McNabb and Penny Cote return to the regional district for Beaver Creek and Sproat Lake respectively.
School board winners were incumbents Pam Craig, Larry Ransom, Rose Marie Buchannan and John Bennie being joined by newcomers Christine Washington and Connie Watts.
