Ward Sutherland elected in Ward 1
Ward Sutherland has officially won the race for Ward 1 after a recount Wednesday.
Recount of votes needed after close ballot count
Ward Sutherland has won the race for Ward 1 after a recount was requested.
Sutherland received just 85 more votes than Chris Harper Monday. In the end he won by 86 votes.
Results for all Calgary council positions will not be finalized until Friday.
There was no incumbent in the riding after long-serving Ald. Dale Hodges decided to not seek re-election.
After serving for 30 years, Hodges says he has decided to watch council from the sidelines. But he had thrown his weight behind Sutherland, a former community association president.
