As Thompson’s new mayor and council prepare to be sworn in today, Oswald Sawh says residents should expect collaboration and communication from their elected representatives.

During his first City Beat interview, Sawh said orientation meetings gave councillors a chance to learn about one another’s priorities before beginning their term.

Incoming mayor Oswald Sawh says the commitment to the community extends beyond whoever holds the mayor’s seat.

Sawh says councillors share broad goals, including safety and opportunities for young people.

He says their discussions will focus on how to reach those goals, with room for different opinions.
