After serving Niagara Falls for nearly 60 years, Wayne Thomson was given the keys to the city by Niagara Falls Mayor Jim Diodati.
Thomson has been involved in Niagara Falls politics since 1968, when he was first elected as an alderman. He served as mayor between 1978 and 1983 and again from 1991 to 2003. Following a seven-year hiatus, Thomson returned to city politics and was elected to council in 2010.
Thomson, age 85, resigned his council seat last month and was succeeded by former councillor Chris Dabrowski, who came in ninth in Niagara Falls’ 2022 municipal election. Dabrowski was appointed to Thomson’s seat, as council chose not to hold a by-election over cost concerns.
