Mayor Mahon not running after 16 years in council chambers
There will be a new face in the mayor’s chair after the upcoming Battleford election on Oct. 26.
Mayor Derek Mahon will not be running for re-election after 16 years with the town as mayor and as a councillor.
“It’s 12 years on council and four as the mayor,” he said. “My personal and business life has picked up substantially over the last little while and it’s time to move on.”
Mahon first announced he wouldn’t be running in the upcoming election back in May during the State of the City and Town address.
