Cumberland will have a new councillor Monday afternoon.

Nick Ward is being sworn in this afternoon as council’s newest member.

He won a byelection last month to replace Jesse Ketler, who stepped down in June.

Ward received 535 votes to win the by-election, compared to 169 for Thea Cockerton, and 27 for Ken Barth.

Ward will be sworn in ahead of today’s Committee of the Whole Budget meeting, at 5:30pm.

The public is invited to attend.
