Regina city council voted to remove Ward 6 coun. Dan Leblanc from the board of the Community Safety and Well-being committee.

After a short private session, eight members of council voted in favour to remove Leblanc, while only Leblanc and Ward 3 coun. Andrew Stevens voted to keep him on.

Ward 8 coun. Shanon Zachidniak was not present at the meeting.

Leblanc said that was what he expected from the vote.

“That’s about the way it was in December,” he said.

Multiple community members came to council to voice their support for Leblanc.

“It’s critical for the board to have [him],” said Carl Cherland.
