The end of an era; Hamilton’s last hurrah
In an emotional goodbye, the mayor fought back tears as he addressed council one last time.
The last council meeting before the election was held Oct. 17 and the next one will feature a new mayor and potentially a whole new council. Ian Hamilton has been the mayor of North Battleford for seven years and a council member for the last 10.
At the end of the meeting Hamilton addressed council for the last time as mayor.
“As you can see this is quite emotional for me,” Hamilton said. “I am comfortable with my decision but I am going to miss this. I’ve really enjoyed my role as councillor and as mayor. It is mixed emotions for sure.”
