However, incumbent Conservative candidate Nelly Shin is projected to lose her seat this time around, with NDP’s Bonita Zarrillo capturing 36.7 per cent of the vote.
Shin came in second with 32.3 per cent and Liberal Will Davis garnered 27.2 per cent.

The seat had previously been held by the NDP’s Fin Donnelly, who decided not to run again after 10 years in office.
