New Tecumseth will soon have its first female mayor in the Town’s history.
Stephanie MacLellan currently serves as Deputy Mayor. She received 61.79% of the vote in the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election. A lifelong resident of New Tecumseth, she brings eight years of municipal Council experience to the role.
She was first elected to Council representing Beeton in 2018 before becoming Deputy Mayor in 2022.
“I am incredibly humbled and honoured that residents have placed their trust in me to lead the community I have called home my entire life,” says Mayor-Elect Stephanie MacLellan. “We have a lot of work ahead of us, and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and work alongside Council, staff, and our community to build a bright future for New Tecumseth.”
Joining MacLellan for the 2026-2030 term will be Deputy Mayor-Elect Marc Biss and seven ward councillors:
- Chris Rapin in Ward 1
- Wendy Gabrek in Ward 2
- Tony Phekoo in Ward 3
- Alan Masters in Ward 4
- Nicole Cox in Ward 5
- Shira Harrison McIntyre in Ward 6
- Andrea Jacks in Ward 7
The incoming nine-member Council will consist of five women and four men, marking another change in the Town’s municipal leadership.
MacLellan will officially assume the role of Mayor during the Inaugural Meeting of Council on Monday, November 16th, at 6:00 p.m. at the Alliston Memorial Arena.
Residents are invited to attend the meeting as the Town welcomes its first female Mayor and the newly elected Council for the 2026-2030 term.
