Riverside Ward alderman Jim Durrell defeated Britannia Ward alderman Marlene Catterall to become the new mayor of Ottawa.
Durrell swept 12 of the city's 15 wards en route to victory, doing particularly well in the city's suburbs. His best ward was Riversdie, which he represented on council, where he won 72% of the vote. Catterall won the remaining three wards, all in the inner-city. Her strongest ward was Wellington, the only one where she won a majority of the vote. There, she won 52% of the vote. Catterall was not even able to win her home ward of Britannia, which she lost by 108 votes.[1]
