Penhold has sworn in its latest member of town council.

Cameron Galisky, voted in by way of a recent by-election, was sworn in on Sept. 11 by Mayor Mike Yargeau.

At just 24-years-old, Galisky is the youngest person to ever be elected to Penhold town council.

“Penhold is an amazing community full of a truly inspiring spirit and heart,” said Councillor Galisky. “I eagerly look forward to my time serving the people of our fine town and will always give my utmost in the service of our community.”

The by-election, held Sept. 6, was made necessary after Mike Walsh resigned earlier this summer.
