Coun. Ian Paton (left) and school trustee Laura Dixon (above) didn’t have reason to worry as both were comfortably re-elected Saturday. Heather King (top) returns to Delta council after a three-year absence.

Familiar look to council, board Mayor Lois Jackson acclaimed and all but one incumbent returned in Saturday’s municipal election Delta council and Delta school board will have familiar looks for the next four years. Saturday’s municipal election saw all five incumbents on council — Sylvia Bishop, Jeannie Kanakos, Ian Paton, Bruce McDonald and Robert Campbell — get re-elected. Heather King is the only new face, but she’s hardly a newcomer, having served one term on council before launching an unsuccessful bid for the mayor’s chair in 2011.

Quality a car appreciates!

She fills the seat left vacant after Scott Hamilton was elected MLA for Delta North last year. It’s much the same with school board, where five of the six incumbents — Laura Dixon, Nick Kanakos, Val Windsor, Dale Saip and Fabian Milat — were reelected. They have been joined by a pair of newcomers, Bruce Reid and Rhiannon Bennett, both of the Kids Matter slate. The two firsttime trustees were vocal during

the campaign about the need for increased education funding. Incumbent Donna Burke was defeated. Mayor Lois Jackson was acclaimed. Voter turnout was 32.1 per cent.
