Seiling and Craig back, Vrbanovic and Jaworsky in

Ken Seiling will be back for another term as Chair of the Region of Waterloo. Seiling, who has been in office since the late 1970’s, finished with almost 64,000 votes. Jay Aissa finished a distant second with over 25,000. “I’ve always had lots of support, but this is probably the most aggressive campaign we’ve had, so we had to call on the community and we put a call out to the community and they just arrived.” said Seiling

There will also be new mayors in Kitchener and Waterloo as both Carl Zehr and Brenda Halloran decided not to seek
re-election.

In Kitchener, Berry Vrbanovic is Mayor-Elect. Vrbanovic received over 61-per cent of the vote, while Dan Glenn-Graham received almost 27-per cent. “I stand before you humbled by the unwavering support you and so many others in our community have shown me…” Vrbanovic told supporters at his victory party on Monday night.
