Councillor Susan McLean Tady was recognized for her years of dedication during the final meeting of the Town of Battleford council Monday night.

In total she served 11 years on council.

McLean Tady, who is not seeking re-election, said thank you to council and staff in her parting speech.

“Fellow councillors it’s been a pleasure serving this last term with you all. Lots of big ticket items we’ve dealt with, lots of controversy. But I think our hearts have always been in the right spot,” she said.

Mayor Ames Leslie said McLean Tady served as a source of knowledge to council.
