Three outgoing Quispamsis councillors had the chance to say their final goodbyes this week.
Sean Luck, Pierre Rioux and Lisa Loughery spoke during the current council’s final meeting Tuesday.
The three councillors, who have spent between five and 20 years on council, decided not to run again in the municipal election.
Loughery said it has been a tremendous honour to have served Quispamsis residents for 20 years.
“I’ve seen many changes throughout the town. Many new streets, many new and exciting things that have happened over the years and so glad that I was able to be a part of that,” said Loughery.

Quispamsis council has approved a wage increase for the next mayor and council.
On Tuesday, council voted 6-1 to increase salaries by between 19 and 28 per cent effective June 1.
Under the changes, the mayor’s salary will climb to $51,750 from $40,342, an increase of more than 28 per cent.
The deputy mayor will see their salary rise by 15 per cent (or $3,174) to $24,606 while councillors will get a 19 per cent boost (or $3,380) to $21,489.
An independent consultant hired by the town recommended adjusting council salaries to align with the market median.
The review, which looked at salaries from 12 Maritime municipalities, found Quispamsis council compensation is “under market” and close to the 25th percentile.
