Esquimalt mayor Barb Desjardins has been re-elected as chair of the CRD Board
Desjardins was one of two directors to be nominated this afternoon, along with Oak Bay mayor Nils Jensen.
Votes were then tabulated and Desjardins was named board chair for the second straight year. The vote was done by secret ballot, and the number of votes received by each is not publicly released.
"I do not intend to take the foot off the pedal," Desjardins told the board prior to the vote. "Nor, I hope, will your enthusiasm wane. Some things have been accomplished; other things have not. As I said earlier, I sought this position to achieve positive change."
Southern Gulf Islands director David Howe has been acclaimed as the CRD Board's vice-chair.
