Matthew Jelley has been re-elected as mayor of the Resort Municipality of Stanley Bridge, Hope River, Bayview, Cavendish and North Rustico, according to results emailed out by the town's CAO.
The email from Brenda MacDonald did not provide vote counts, only the slate of candidates with a column indicating who had been elected.
Jelley has been leading the community for almost a decade, first elected as chairman of the North Shore municipality in 2014 before it was incorporated as a town. He defeated challenger, and councillor, Bill Drost.
Five councillors were also elected Monday night: Lee Brammer, George Clark Dunning, Kav Hryckiw, Linda Lowther and Chris Robinson.
The leader of Canada's Green Party had some strong words for Nova Scotia's Progressive Conservatives while joining her provincial counterpart on the campaign trail. Elizabeth May was in Halifax Saturday to support the Nova Scotia Green Party in the final days of the provincial election campaign. She criticized PC Leader Tim Houston for calling a snap election this fall after the Tories passed legislation in 2021 that gave Nova Scotia fixed election dates every four years.
