Mix of rookies and returning members in new Kingston city council By Bill Hutchins Reporter
News – You could call it a fall housecleaning. Kingston voters swept a handful of councillors out of office in the Oct. 27 municipal election. The new council, when it first meets in early December, will look vastly different that the one that’s been in place for the past four years.

She will join other council newcomers like Peter Stroud, who earned 56 per cent of the vote in Sydenham district, nearly double the votes of second place finisher Adam Koven. “I’m relieved because it was a lot of hard work. We got started early knocking on doors back in June. We were listening to what people were saying, like being against the casino,” said Stroud of his victory. Other rookies were elected by much closer margins: Laura Turner, daughter of former mayor Isabel Turner, defeated Joan Jardin by about 300 votes in Lakeside district, Adam Candon won his first race in Continued on page 3
