Westmount’s mayor, Christina Smith, has decided not to run again after 12 years on council, reflecting on her time in office.
She mentioned that her decision came after talking it over with her family. Smith first joined the council in 2013 and became mayor in 2017. She took over from Peter Trent, who had been mayor for a long time.
During her time, she focused on getting the community involved and making Westmount a better place. She expressed gratitude for working with a dedicated council. They all wanted to serve the community well.
Smith highlighted some big projects and how the community came together during the COVID-19 pandemic. She believes the next administration will face tough challenges, especially with housing and redevelopment plans.
For now, she’ll continue as mayor until the municipal election in November. It’ll be interesting to see who steps up next!
