Ken Gansel will be serving a second term, as Chair of the Niagara Regional Police Services Board.

Port Colborne Mayor Bill Steele will also be sticking around as Vice-Chair.

They were both elected last year.

Gansel was first appointed to the board back in 2012, by the Lieutenant Governor of Ontario.

He served as the Vice-Chair for three consecutive terms, before becoming the Chair.

Steele served as a Port Colborne City Councillor from 1996 to 2014.

He became the Mayor in 2018, and he is currently serving his first-term on Regional Council.
