#Nanaimo voters did an amazing thing yesterday. We elected skilled, knowledgeable and experienced council members. We got the governance we need and deserve. Best wishes to our new council-elect. #nanelxn18

@shepherdprotect A lot of change occurred with last night's vote. Lot's of new people & younger people. Voters could have voted for the retreads from last council and previous councils who came back to haunt us, but they didn't. #nanelxn18

Sacia Burton Nicholas M. Pescod There's a HIGH chance I will openly cry. I am so relieved. It will be really hard to treat a woman like shit in this council (or anyone for that matter). #nanaimo #nanelxn18
