鈥淚 have decided to run for a second term as Councillor for the City of Yorkton,鈥� said Zaharia who was elected to Council for his first term the last time the City went to the polls. 鈥淚 thoroughly enjoyed the learning process and would like the opportunity to continue learning while serving our great community.鈥�
