1980: Fritz Pfeiffer, Helen Dutch, Maxine Douglas, George Marchidon, Howard Meggison [The newspapers say there was no election for the 1980 council, which indicates that it remained the same as the 1979 council. Nonetheless, I’m not entirely sure whether it was Helen Dutch or Abe Visser who was a councillor during 1980, as at the end of 1981, the newspaper states that Abe Visser’s term was up, despite him only holding it one year (1981), which indicates that he may have been a councillor in 1980 as well. However, perhaps he only had a one-year term instead of a two-year term.]
1979: Fritz Pfeiffer, Helen Dutch, Maxine Douglas, George Marchidon, Howard Meggison
