Global News has declared incumbent Mairin Loewen re-elected in Saskatoon’s Ward 7.
Ward 7 is one of two wards along the southern boundary of the city east of the South Saskatchewan River.

Neighbourhoods in the ward: Adelaide/Churchill, Avalon, Exhibition, Nutana Park, Queen Elizabeth, Stonebridge and The Willows.
The ward also includes the Diefenbaker management area and CN industrial.
