The Village of Berwyn has elected a new mayor to lead them until the municipal election in Oct. 20, 2025.
Nicole Johnson was elected during council’s organizational meeting held Oct. 10. She has served as a councillor and deputy mayor during her two-plus years of service.
When Johnson was first elected to council, there were only three councillors; now, there is a full council of five.
Johnson expresses her enthusiasm for Berwyn by describing it as a strong and unified community where everyone is dedicated to making it the best it can be.
“I think it’s hard enough these days to get by. How wonderful it is to have a community where we can help one another, support each other, and share great ideas for our village,” says Johnson.
She also noted council is eager to hear ideas and concerns from residents, business owners, and supporters.
“With the input of our community and the dedication of our council, I believe Berwyn will continue to thrive as a great place to live.”
In addition to her role as mayor, Johnson serves on the Lac Cardinal Regional Economic Development Board and the Berwyn Library Board. She has aspirations to join the Alberta Municipalities Board in the future.
Johnson lives in Berwyn with her husband, Nolan, and their two children, Jax and Hunter. They are outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy quadding, camping, and snowmobiling, and they love spending time with family.
