Incumbent Councillor Mary Catherine O'Neill got 1,584 votes to defeat incumbent Deputy Mayor Joan Stover (554 votes) and newcomer Dave Forbes (681).

Sherry Gibson, who had served several terms in the past (including one as Deputy Mayor) has defeated incumbent Councillor Mike Ainsworth, 2,138 votes to 762.

The five candidates for council contained not one incumbent. The three winners were Jim McCormack (1,945 votes), Jim Hogg (1,563) and Cathie Ritchie (1,496), with Terry Carruthers and Ron Farrow trailing with 1,333 and 726 votes respectively.
