Mayor-Elect Hill has served the community for many years as a dedicated member of Council, demonstrating strong leadership and commitment to the growth and well-being of Tisdale. We look forward to his continued service in this new role,” read a town Facebook post Thursday morning.

Hill is replacing former mayor Roy Skoglund, who resigned as mayor back in August.

Prior to Skoglund’s short term and resignation, Al Jellicoe was Tisdale’s long-time mayor; however, he decided not to run in last fall’s election.

NortheastNOW reached out to Hill for comment regarding the new position, but was unable to get in contact before publication.

“The Town would like to thank the 702 residents who participated in the 2025 By-Election. Your engagement and participation in local governance help shape the future of our community,” added the Tisdale Facebook post. “Together, we continue to make Tisdale a great place to live, work, and grow.”
