Both Hanson and Beck are former city councillors and will join Mayor Cal Huntley and councillors Colleen Arnold, Tim Babcock, Karen MacKinnon and Ken Pawlachuk until November 2022. The two newly elected councillors will fill seats formerly held by Colleen McKee - who sat as a city councillor from 2006 until her death in 2020 following a battle with cancer - and Barry Kreller, who was elected to Flin Flon council in a Oct. 2020 byelection before stepping down from council in March for personal reasons. Hanson, who received the most votes, was first elected to city council in 1992, leaving after one term before running again and winning in 2002. Hanson held that seat again until he stepped down from council in 2018. Hanson works as a carpenter, general repairman and trades lead with the Northern Health Region and is currently the chair of the Flin Flon Public Library board.
