Unofficial Municipal Election results

Steve Sobering will be officially making the move from the council seats to the mayor's chair for the next four years.

The former city councillor was voted as Dauphin's new mayor on Wednesday night, collecting 829 votes to defeat Keith Durston and Carter Taylor-Luke.

Sobering admits the next city council will be kept busy during the next term with a number of key projects, including the new justice center and the rebuild of the Dauphin Hospital.

Sobering is also excited to get back working on the craft district project, which is proposing to enhance a portion of the city's downtown.

There will be a lot of experience joining Steve Sobering at the Dauphin City Council table over the next four years.

Four incumbent councillors were voted back to the council table, including Christian Laughland, Devin Shtykalo, Ted Rea and Randy Daley.

They will be joined by newcomers Scott McCallum and Michelle Nyquist.

Some familiar faces will not be returning to the Mountainview School Division board of trustees, after unofficial results were released late Wednesday night.

Former school board chairs Jason Gryba and Gabe Mercier were not re-elected in Ward 3, replaced by Matthew Bayduza and Wanda Sime.

Ward two will be represented by Kyle Lylyk, while ward four will be represented by Jarri-Ann Thompson, Michelle Smigelski, Rodney Juba and Daniel McKay.

Several recent mayors and reeves were bumped from their jobs during voting Wednesday night.

Lyle Morran was beaten by Tom Barnett for the Mayor's position in Grandview, Jim Manchur fell to former reeve Larry Malowski in the Gilbert Plains Municipality Reeve race, while Thomas Matthews defeated Ken Cameron to become the new mayor of Minnedosa.

Lance Jacobsen held off Ainslee White by a 2 to 1 count to remain mayor Swan River, while Reynald Sahulka held on to the Reeve's chair with Mossey River Municipality.

Other mayor or reeve races saw Chris Radford defeat former MLA Len Derkach for the mayor's job in Russell-Binscarth, Kevin Boese became the new Reeve of Ethelbert Municipality, Shawn Buchanan will now head up McCreary Municipality as its reeve, while Kalvin Kreshewski received over half of the vote to become Reeve in Rossburn Municipality.

On the council side, Ivan Worrall, Shari Maillard, Steven Hopfner and Julie Peloquin will join newly acclaimed mayor Robert Killam on the Municipality of Ste Rose council.

Claude Hykawy, Rick Paradis, and Crystal Charlebois-Fiddler claimed council seats in the RM of Lakeshore.
