Incumbent mayors have been defeated in several major cities across British Columbia, after voters showed an appetite for change in municipal elections.
Surrey incumbent Brenda Locke conceded the mayor's race, with predecessor Doug McCallum projected to win back the city's leadership.
Challengers won mayoral races in West Vancouver, New Westminster, Prince George, Kamloops and Fort St. John. Incumbent Ken Sim is trailing in Vancouver.
Many cities and municipalities reported increased or even record turnout at advance polls, despite officials having been worried about voter confusion with the overlapping provincial campaign.
