Eligible voters in Victoria have gone to the polls in the 2022 B.C. municipal election.
The province’s capital will have a new mayor with Global News projecting Marianne Alto will take the top job.
Helps, who has held the top job for eight years, did not reoffer. A total of eight candidates have tossed their hats in the ring for her job. Residents had 37 council candidates to choose from as well.
Global News projects that the new council will include Jeremy Caradonna, Susan Kim, Matt Dell, Krista Loughton, Marg N. Gardiner, Dave S. Thompson, Christopher Mark Coleman, and Stephen Hammond.
Named after Queen Victoria, the B.C. capital is one of the oldest cities in the Pacific Northwest, with British settlement beginning in 1843. The Songhees and Esquimalt People have occupied and cared for the land since time immemorial.
