Steve Bezak, Mayor

Transcribed by Crystal Wendt.

 

A total of 24 persons have served as president of Abbotsford.  In 1965, Steve Bezak became the 25th person to lead the city, although his position was that of mayor instead of president.  This spring, he was elected to begin serving his fifth two-year term.
