Two council seats up for grabs for challengers were taken by Val van den Broek and Paul Albrecht.

Schaffer, who inherited the council's leadership by decision of fellow council members after Mayor Peter Fassbender stepped aside to join Christy Clark's provincial cabinet as Minister of Education, received 2,781 votes, to walk past challengers Randy Caine (767) and Ray Lewis (558).(

He was followed by van den Broek's 1,864.

Next up were incumbents Rudy Storteboom (1,856) and Gayle Martin (1,851), and then newcomer Paul Albrecht (1,738).
