Brogan Alyward handily won the two-person mayor’s race in St. Marys on Monday night.
The rookie councillor and deputy mayor continued his impressive ascension through the municipal politics ranks in the town, receiving 2,491 votes.

He wants to introduce value for service reviews to ensure residents are getting the best possible value for services provided to the community.
Along with increasing housing choices for young people, families and seniors, he also wants to invest in roads, bridges and other infrastructure that residents depends on.
Jim Craigmile, Ryan Leaman, Marg Luna, Andrea Macko, Bill Pickering and Fern Pridham were elected as town councillors.
