Dwayne Antoine is the new chief of the Poundmaker First Nation following Thursday’s band election.

 

Antoine beat Marie Tootoosis and Floyd Favel for the post, after Teddy Antoine decided not to run for the position again this year.

 

In addition to the new chief, Vernon Antoine, Colin Favel, Bryan Tootoosis, and Raymond Tootoosis were voted on to the band council out of the 22 candidates who ran.

 

All elected officials will serve a four-year term.
