Long-standing incumbent John Orlikow is returning to city hall to represent River Heights – Fort Garry, winning the ward in Wednesday night’s election with 73 per cent support.

His closest challenger, Brant Field, earned 20 per cent of the ward’s support, with Gary Lenko trailing at seven per cent.

This will be Orlikow’s fourth term on council.

Incumbent John Orlikow has retained his council seat.

First elected in a 2009 byelection, Orlikow has seen numerous postings on city council, including as deputy mayor, a member of the executive policy committee and chairman of the property and development, and heritage and downtown development committees.

Community centres, safety and green spaces are among his priorities. He promises to fix streets and sidewalks and invest in spray pads and play structures.
