Introducing Your New Common Council

Here's what your next common common council is going to look like, Saint John. Mel Norton cleaned up in the mayor with incumbent mayor Ivan Court conceding early in the race. The Deputy Mayor will be former UNB Dean of Business Shelley Rinehart, who Norton calls "one of his favourite people."


It's going to be another brother act around the council horseshoe with Greg Norton representing Ward 1. Common councillor Bill Farren has been re-elected for another term. Business owner Susan Fullerton and education council member John MacKenzie will be the faces representing Ward 2. Incumbent Donnie Snook is back to finish what he started joined by uptown advocate Donna Reardon.


David Merrithew is carrying on the family legacy of his uncle federal politician Gerry Merrithew as councilor for Ward 4. Volunteer & paramedic Ray Strowbridge is also representing that Ward.
