October 22nd was Election Day in Ontario. After three months of engaging and insightful campaigning, Nicole Beatty was elected to Cobourg Council. Nicole shared the following message on her campaign’s Facebook page after receiving the good news:
This is me receiving the election results: elated, relieved, excited, grateful … proud. My good friend literally having my back. I was surrounded by my family and friends last night – those that have inspired and supported me. Then, I got to be surrounded by community – those that voted for me. Thank you for believing in me, Cobourg. We’re going to do some remarkable things together.
