Residents of Kamloops have cast their votes in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
Global News is projecting that Reid Hamer-Jackson has been elected as the city’s new mayor, with just over 30 per cent of the vote.
The city’s current mayor, Kenneth Christian, didn’t see re-election after spending 29 years in public office.
Elected to council were incumbents Bill Sarai, Mike O’Reilly and Dale Bass plus newcomers Katie Neustaeter, Kelly Hall, Margot Middleton, Stephen Karpuk and Nancy Bepple.
In the 2018 municipal election, Christian was re-elected with nearly 87 per cent of the vote. A former city councillor, Christian was first elected as mayor in 2017 when a September byelection was held to replace former mayor Peter Milobar, who’s now the MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson.
