Allan Hubley is the new face of Kanata South, winning the councillor seat with 6,783 votes. Aaron Helleman, who was endorsed by now-retired incumbent Peggy Feltmate, conceded to Hubley just after 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 25. Hubley was voted in as the new councillor for Ward 23 with 48.8 per cent of the votes. “I now get to live my dream,” said the 52-year-old. “It’s time to celebrate.” Hubley’s supporters watched the election results unfold at the Kanata Sports Club. He joined his family, friends and close supporters after polls showed he won the seat for Kanata South. “It’s exciting,” said Hubley’s wife, Wendy. “I’m now relieved it’s all over.” Less people turned out to vote in
Kanata South with 13,901 heading to the polls compared to 16,818 in 2006. Hubley’s win is a surprise in a ward that traditionally votes centreleft on the political spectrum. He said he credits his victory to the people of Kanata South and the hard work of his campaign team. Hubley ran on a platform that promised to work on getting recreation facilities to Bridlewood, reducing traffic congestion, fixing the issues behind flooding in Glen Cairn and Katimavik-Hazeldean and keeping taxes at or below the rate of inflation. “Priority number one is to get spending under control,” said Hubley. “It’s a city-wide issue. If we can get spending under control everything else will fall into place.” He said he will work well with the next city council. HUBLEY, SEE 8
