Councillor Hadi Saab has been elected City of Kingston Mayor in what will be his first term as Mayor since joining the Council in 2020.
The new Mayor said he was humbled and honoured to serve and lead Kingston.
“During my term, I plan on being an active and visible conduit between the community and Council – always championing community consultation,” he said.
“My focus will be on maintaining transparent communication, further bolstering advocacy, and fostering strong civic pride.
“Promoting and celebrating Kingston’s multiculturalism, through our diversity and inclusion plans and the Back Your Neighbour campaign, is important to me and I want to increase accessibility for everyone to all our information, programs and services.
“Breaking down barriers and celebrating diversity is vital for building a more cohesive, connected, and inclusive city.
“Supporting our youths and young adults is also a passion of mine and I will be promoting opportunities and encouraging our young people to shape the future of our city through putting their hands up for public office and decision-making bodies.”
Councillor Chris Hill (Como Ward) was elected as Deputy Mayor for the next 12 months.
“I am proud to represent Kingston as Deputy Mayor and look forward to working collaboratively with the Mayor, councillors and the community to achieve positive results for the people of Kingston,” Cr Hill said.
“I love where we live and I am looking forward to sharing many special moments with residents and community organisations alike.”
