Michael Oshry to depart city council after one term

Michael Oshry is the city's third councillor to announce he is not running again for city council.

"I am not seeking re-election for Ward 5," Oshry said in a tweet Wednesday. "It has been my pleasure to serve the citizens of the ward and the City of Edmonton."

Oshry, who represents Ward 5 in the city's west end, told CBC he simply made a decision that he wasn't interested in running again.

Oshry joins Bryan Anderson and Ed Gibbons in leaving council this fall.

Edmontonians go to the polls on Monday, Oct. 16.
