With a new Mayor and Town Council taking the reins in Shaunavon, Sharon Dickie is stepping down.

Dickie says she know that the town is in good hands. "I always said that I didn't want to leave until I was sure that it was the right time. And I know it's the right time and I'm leaving it in the hands of a wonderful group of people."

She continues, "Grant (Greenslade) is going to make a fine Mayor. He has the confidence of the Council that's going to be sitting with him and he's well respected. His service with Public Works is going to serve him well in the role as Mayor, so I wish him well."

Sharon Dickie has served on Shaunavon Town Council for the past 22 years.
