Abstract:

Politics took a back seat as the City of Campbell River swore in its first Indigenous city councillor at the Tidemark Theatre Tuesday, Nov. 1.

Tanille Johnston was elected to council in Oct. 15’s municipal election, joining a city council made up of predominantly new councillors and a new mayor, Kermit Dahl, who were all sworn in at its Inaugural Council Meeting.

The significance of Johnston’s election was front and centre as the largely ceremonial meeting was accompanied by an Indigenous presence that reflected progress towards reconciliation with First Nations in Campbell River’s local government.
