There's been some, though not a lot, of generational change on local elected bodies across the region.

The Forum for Millennial Leadership has identified 26 candidates under the age of 40 who were elected as mayors or councillors in Metro Vancouver on October 20.

Some were running for reelection, such as New Westminster mayor Jonathan Cote and Vancouver councillor Melissa De Genova.

But many others are newcomers to electoral politics, such as councillor-elect Dylan Kruger in Delta and councillor-elect Mandeep Nagra in Surrey.

In Vancouver, the other millennial councillors are Rebecca Bligh (NPA), Christine Boyle (OneCity), Lisa Dominato (NPA), and Michael Wiebe (Green).

Councillor-elect Michael Wiebe will be among five members of Vancouver's council who are under the age of 40.
