It’s been less than a week since the municipal election, and newly elected officials are ready to hit the ground running.
Regina is welcoming in a new crop of faces to city hall, with nine new members and two returning councillors all taking part in a swearing-in ceremony Monday night.
New faces include Mayor Chad Bachynski along with council members Dan Rashovich, George Tsiklis, David Froh, Mark Burton, Sarah Turnbull, Victoria Flores, Shobna Radons and Clark Bezo.
The two incumbents are Ward 8’s Shanon Zachidniak and Ward 9’s Jason Mancinelli.
The group of city representatives met in Henry Baker Hall to swear in before family, city administration and dignitaries.
Following the ceremony, a short council meeting was held with a single agenda item to receive and file the official declaration of the election results.
Councillors speaking to media after the event indicated they’re looking forward to collaborative work among their colleagues over the next four years.
