Ken Gansel will be serving a second term, as Chair of the Niagara Regional Police Services Board.

They were both elected last year.

Gansel was first appointed to the board back in 2012, by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

He served as the Vice-Chair for three consecutive terms, before becoming the Chair.

Steele served as a Port Colborne City Councillor from 1996 to 2014.

He became the Mayor in 2018, and he is currently serving his first-term on Regional Council.
