After District of Lunenburg Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson lost her mayoral bid in October’s municipal election, Chisholm-Beaton retained her position as past president of the organization representing the province’s municipalities.

Bolivar-Getson succeeded the Port Hawkesbury Mayor as NSFM President in November 2023.

After the meeting, Chisholm Beaton said the role will not interfere with her job as the town’s mayor, nor will her role as a board member with the Association of Municipal Administrators of Nova Scotia.
