New Hamilton councillors experience ‘formal onboarding’ a week prior to official start
Much of the change was due to five sitting councillors not seeking re-election and one moving to federal politics.Two days of sessions began Tuesday at the David Braley Health Centre and Dundurn Castle for the incoming councillors, six returnees and Horwath preparing for a job that officially begins with a swearing-in next Wednesday night.
The sittings, in groups of three councillors per boardroom stop, were the first opportunity for the city’s departmental managers to get to know who they will be working with. Incoming Ward 13 Coun. Alex Wilson, who was born in 1997, is excited about being the youngest council member, potentially representing a shift in Hamilton’s voting demographics.Ford says ‘improved offer’ given to CUPE for lowest paid education workers
“What I think is nice is we’re entering a cohort with so many different people, with so many new identities … and excited that there is, on average, a shift younger,” Wilson said. Just 35 per cent of the city’s residents engaged in the Oct. 24 municipal election — 143,375 out of the 405,288 eligible voters in the city.
