As the inauguration of Peterborough’s newly elected city council nears, a longtime Monaghan Ward representative says holding office for three terms was an honour.
Don Vassiliadis was first elected in 2014, and was re-elected in 2018 and 2022. Over his first two council terms, he represented Monaghan Ward alongside Henry Clarke, and then with Matt Crowley during the past term.
While Crowley stood for re-election this year and won his seat back, Vassiliadis opted not to run so can dedicate more time to his catering business.
On reflection, Vassiliadis says he’s particularly proud of his contributions to the creation of a physician recruitment program.
Vassiliadis says helping to better position Peterborough for the future was his favourite part of the job.
