Mayor Stewart has been a powerful voice for the City of Summerside and his commitment to the people of the city, and to our province, are examples of the skills he will draw upon in his newest role with the FCM.” Basil Stewart was elected as Mayor of Summerside in 1985 and has served as mayor for the last 24 years. He has served as Third Vice-President of FCM since June 2006. He received the Canada 125 Medal in 1992 and was named Summerside Citizen of the Year in 1989.
