Port Moody’s mayor-elect and councillors-elect will be sworn in at an official ceremony during the Inaugural Council Meeting at Inlet Theatre (100 Newport Drive) on Tuesday, November 1, 2022. The meeting will start at 7pm with a reception to follow.

• Councillor-elect Kyla Knowles
• Councillor-elect Amy Lubik
• Councillor-elect Haven Lurbiecki

The ceremony will also include a performance by the École Moody Middle School of the Arts Choir as part of Art at Council, a program that gives artists a chance to share their work with the public and educate Council on the cultural projects taking place in our community. 

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the statutory meeting will be called to order. Each councillor will deliver an inaugural address, to be followed by Mayor Meghan Lahti’s inaugural address. The reception will begin immediately after the meeting has been adjourned.
