Burnaby’s new Council begins four-year term

Burnaby’s newly elected Council has officially begun its four-year term, building on the work underway across the city while welcoming three new councillors to the Council table.

Meet Burnaby’s 2026-2030 Council:

• Mayor Mike Hurley
• Councillor Ryan Erwin
• Councillor Joe Keithley
• Councillor Cindy Lee
• Councillor Richard T. Lee
• Councillor Maita Santiago
• Councillor Kiran Singh
• Councillor Daniel Tetrault
• Councillor James Wang 

Mayor Hurley begins his third term as Mayor, while Councillors Joe Keithley, Richard T. Lee, Maita Santiago, Daniel Tetrault and James Wang return to Council. Ryan Erwin, Cindy Lee and Kiran Singh join Council for the first time.

“It’s an honour to begin this new term alongside returning and newly elected members of Council,” said Mayor Mike Hurley. “Burnaby residents have placed their trust in us to work together, listen to our community and make thoughtful decisions about the city’s future. I’m excited about what we can accomplish together over the next four years.”

The new Council takes office following a record-setting municipal election. A total of 50,336 ballots were cast, representing more than 29% of eligible voters and the highest number of people ever to vote in a Burnaby municipal election. Over the next four years, Council will set the policies, bylaws and direction that guide the City’s work and the local services residents rely on, while representing Burnaby’s interests with other levels of government.
