Emily Rowley is also making a return, following a four-year absence brought about by a defeat at the polls in 2014. She trailed only Tadman with 2,770 votes. The unofficial results for the other four candidates, posted on the municipal website, were: Natasha Huizinga (1,447), Vic Schukow (826), Thomas Walsh (693) and Jeff Wheeldon (2,447). Ostrander, a councillor for the past four years, said he was "very pleased" by the evening's outcome and was looking forward to "getting down to work" as soon as possible. "This council has a lot of work to do," he said. "I'm looking forward to leading a good team, and we're going to have a team this time." He plans to email all those elected to council in the coming weeks to begin the strategic planning process he promised in his campaign. That's "absolutely" the first order of business, Ostrander said. "We can't go on the way we've been going."
JOHN CAMPBELL jcampbell@metroland.com Brighton - Brian Ostrander, who lost out to Mark Walas eight years ago in the race to become mayor, exacted revenge on Monday night by defeating his rival, collecting 2,690 votes to 2,557 for Walas, according to the unofficial election results. Laura Vink won handily to become the municipality's first elected deputy mayor. Her 3,419 votes were double what Tom Rittwage received, 1,722. There will be three new faces on council: Ron Anderson (2,748 votes), Mark Bateman (2,679) and Doug Leblanc (2,574). Councillors John Martinello (1,487) and Steven Baker (1,777) fell well short of being returned to office. Mary Tadman was, however, for a third straight term. Her 2,853 votes topped all candidates for councillor. See ELECTION, page 2
