Six incumbents, one former councillor, three newcomers win city council races

Just one incumbent city councillor was unable to keep their seat in Saskatoon’s civic election.

Pat Lorje was the only incumbent of seven running to lose in their respective ward after final unofficial results rolled in Wednesday night. She fell narrowly to newcomer Hilary Gough in Ward 2.

Gough will join incumbents Darren Hill (Ward 1), Ann Iwanchuk (Ward 3), Troy Davies (Ward 4), Randy Donauer (Ward 5), Mairin Loewen (Ward 7) and Zach Jefferies (Ward 10), as well as newcomers Cynthia Block (Ward 6) and Sarina Gersher (Ward 8) and former councillor Bev Dubois (Ward 9) on city council.

Dubois, who served three terms as Ward 10 councillor before losing to Jefferies in the last election, will be rejoining council after beating six other candidates in Ward 9.

Official results are expected to be announced Friday, Oct. 28.

Saskatoon’s city council and mayor-elect Charlie Clark are expected to be sworn in Monday, Oct. 31.
