Oct 29, 2026 | 12:17 PM

The Municipal District of Greenview Council has re-elected their Reeve and Deputy Reeve.

Ward 2 Councillor Ryan Ratzlaff will continue as reeve, with Ward 6 Councillor Tom Burton returning as deputy.

Ratzlaff is currently serving his second term representing Ward 2 and has years of leadership and public speaking skills developed from his participation in local youth and community programs.

“I’m grateful for council’s continued confidence and the opportunity to serve another year as reeve,” said Ratzlaff. “Greenview is home, and I care deeply about the people and communities that make up this region. I look forward to continuing our work with council and administration, listening to residents, and making thoughtful decisions that support Greenview’s future.”

This is Burton’s seventh term as the councillor for Debolt and his third as deputy reeve, and he brings with him over two decades of experience in local government and nearly 30 years of experience with DeBolt Fire 7 Rescue.

“It’s a privilege to continue serving as deputy reeve, and I appreciate the trust council has placed in me,” said Burton. “Over the years, I’ve seen what we can accomplish when we work together and keep the needs of our communities at the centre of our decisions. I look forward to another year of working alongside Reeve Ratzlaff, council, and administration to serve our residents and move Greenview’s priorities forward.”

Greenview Council holds an organizational meeting each year to elect its reeve and deputy reeve and make committee appointments.
