A familiar face is returning to the council chamber at city hall.
Joan Rymal has been selected to fill the seat vacated Oct. 14 by Steve Peters.
She will fill the role until the municipal election next Oct. 26.
Rymal previously served on council for two terms, between 2014 and 2022. She did not seek re-election in the 2022 municipal vote.
She is a retired nurse with over three decades of experience at Victoria Hospital and Dearness Home in London.
Mayor Joe Preston observed, “We are pleased to welcome Joan Rymal back to city council. We look forward to working with Joan as she resumes her role in municipal leadership.”
In a media release, Rymal said, “I’m happy to take on this role and serve our community once again, and I look forward to contributing wherever I can make a difference.”
She will be sworn in during the Dec. 8 council meeting.
