The newest councillor in Gilbert Plains is ready to tackle her new duties in the municipality.
Kristen Rubeniuk won a three-person byelection last Wednesday.
Rubeniuk says she is very excited to learn more about how municipal government works.
"How things run, and how things are decided, and just the workings of the government."
She adds Gilbert Plains is very important to her.
"I have lived here my whole life and it is something that I have always been interested in. Now that my kids are grown and things like that, I have a little bit more time so I just wanted to get more involved."
Rubeniuk attends her first meeting as part of the Gilbert Plains municipal council today (Monday).
