KAMLOOPS - Voters have spoken and while there are only two new faces around the council table in Kamloops there are a slew of new faces around the rest of the region.
Council tables in both Clinton and Sun Peaks will remain unchanged with all incumbents unchallenged but in Ashcroft, Barriere, Chase, Lillooet and Merritt a change at the head of the table is set to take place with the election of new mayors in each of those towns.
In Kamloops Denis Walsh and Dieter Dudy are the only newcomers to the council table, though Walsh has previously served on council and Dudy fell just a couple hundred votes shy of the mayoral seat in the 2011 election.
Walsh and Dudy will replace Nelly Dever, the only outgoing councillor, and the empty seat left by Nancy Bepple when she resigned because of health reasons in March.
