Regina election 2024: New mayor and council set to be sworn in [Video]

Regina’s newest mayor and iteration of city council will be sworn in Monday night at a ceremony at Henry Baker Hall.

Mayor-elect Chad Bachynski will become Regina’s 36th mayor after he defeated incumbent Sandra Masters in last week’s civic election.

Joining him are 10 councillors from across the city’s wards.

Only two councillors seeking re-election were successful in their campaigns. Shanon Zachidniak (Ward 8) and Jason Macninelli (Ward 9). The other eight members are all brand new faces to Regina’s city hall.

Wards 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 were all guaranteed to have a new representation with the incumbent not seeking re-election.

Incumbent Coun. Bob Hawkins and incumbent Coun. Terina Nelson were both defeated in their respective wards.

When confirming the election results Nov. 14, city clerk Jim Nicol said he was already working with all members, whether new or old, about their roles ahead of swearing in.
