Welcoming our new City Council

June 01, 2026

Bathurst has a new City Council.

Tonight, our newly elected Mayor and Council were officially sworn in. Congratulations to all of them — and thank you to everyone who came out to vote and to take part.

This is your Council. Over the next four years, these are the people who'll make the decisions that shape our streets, our services and our future.

We're proud of the team stepping up, and we're looking forward to the work ahead — together.

Welcome, and congratulations.
