The Town of Crossfield will soon welcome two new faces to its town council.

Joanne Cornelssen and Mike Knight were elected as councillors following the byelection on Monday.

Knight finished first in the polls with 281 votes while Cornelssen was second with 195 votes.

Jean Gauthier who also ran finished the night with 146 votes, missing out on the council seats.

The by-election was held to fill the two seats left vacant following the death of Devon Helfrich in January and the resignation of Deputy Mayor Glen Price for medical reasons in March.
