Gottardi says he hopes town council pulls through on their election promises of transparency and account- ability. "I thought the town had an appetite for change," he said. "I guess that's not the case. The voters have spoken and they want the existing administration back in for another four years." One new candidate beat out an incumbent in the elec- tion: Wendy Farrow-Reed. Farrow-Reed won a seat as a councillor in Ward 3, over longtime Coun. Dave Kentn- er. She and longtime Coun. Moya Johnson will re- present the ward. "We lost a colleague, but we gained a new voice with Wendy Farrow-Reed," said Bonnette. He said that in the coming weeks he is looking forward to getting back to work, con- tinuing to advocate for two- way-all-day GO Transit ser- vice in Halton Hills, estab- lishing a local transit system and navigating newly legal- ized marijuana issues. As for Farrow-Reed, she says she's ready to get start- ed in her new role. "I've got to look at what's on the slate. I really don't know what council has com- ing up. There's a lot to learn. A lot to get settled," she said. "I'm feeling pretty great. It's something that I've wanted for a long time and now I'm here." As regional councillors, Jane Fogal will continue to represent wards three and four alongside uncontested candidate Clark Somerville. Fogal has been a regional councillor for the town of Halton Hills for 14 years, and has sat on council since 1997. Fogal is a strong propo- nent of environmental initia- tives, active transportation and affordable housing. In Ward 1, councillors Jon Hurst and Mike Albano kept their seats with 1,238 and 1,237 votes respectively. "I'm glad that both myself and Jon are in," Albano said after watching the numbers roll in at town hall. "We worked very hard. It was a tough campaign - very com- petitive, and I congratulate all the candidates for such great work." Former journalist Ted Brown and retired NHL ref- eree Bryan Lewis kept their seats as ward two council- lors, fending off local farmer Geoff Maltby. "It feels rewarding in the fact that people recognize that you've done a good job. I look forward to continuing the process and looking after Ward 2 the way it should be," Lewis said. "For us, there were issues that we didn't recognize until it got late in the term, for ex- ample, affordable housing and transit, and so those are the two issues it looks like we are going to be working on in the new term," Brown add- ed. "For me, the first term was a learning experience and now it's time to move some mountains." Ann Lawlor and Bob In- glis also kept their seats as Ward 4 councillors. "I am thrilled the resi- dents of Ward 4 have sup- ported and placed their con- fidence in me for the next four years, and I truly thank them for that," Inglis said. "It is an honour to serve them. I will continue to do my best in the interest of all residents in the ward, and the town." STORY BEHIND THE STORY Voters cast their ballot in the Oct. 22 municipal election.
