Ladysmith, BC – The Town of Ladysmith is pleased to announce that mayor-elect Deena Beeston will be officially sworn-in as mayor at a special ceremony on March 18 at the Ladysmith Senior’s Centre, 630 2nd Avenue.
The ceremony will take place at 7:00 pm at the beginning of the Regular Council Meeting. Those who are unable to attend the meeting will be able to watch it live on the Town’s YouTube channel.
Beeston will be the 23rd mayor in Ladysmith’s history and only the second woman to hold the position.
“We encourage residents to attend, either in person or virtually, the swearing-in ceremony to witness this important occasion in Ladysmith’s history,” says Acting Mayor Tricia McKay.
