While the majority of the town council members are newcomers, a few familiar faces return.

Heidi Ektvedt, appointed as Baie-D’Urfé’s mayor last November, has won by acclamation once again. She is joined by returning councillor Wanda Lowensteyn, and seasoned council member Janet Ryan, who is now entering her fifth term in this position.

“I’m happy to have been acclaimed for the fifth mandate,” Ryan said. “I am the longest serving member of council at this point, and I’m happy to have the confidence of the town’s residents to serve again.”
