The new councillors for Rocky View County were announced after the official results were presented earlier today (October 20th)

Three of the incumbent councillors lost their seats on Monday: Jerry Arshinoff in Springbank, Eric Lowther in Bearspaw and Bruce Kendall in Cochrane Lake.

One of the closest votes came in Arshinoff's riding of Springbank where a recount was needed to determine the official outcome of the close race.

In  the end, Kim McKylor won the County seat with 520 votes to Arshinoff's 504, a difference of just 16 votes.

That was nowhere as close as the race for Division 7, where Daniel Henn edged out Syd Hartley by 6 votes to claim the seat.

Former Chair of the Rocky View Schools Board, Colleen Munro, wasn't successful in her election bid as Crystal Kissell beat incumbent Bruce Kendall in Division 9 for the Cochrane Lakes seat.
