报道要点

Hadden Kelloway于11月3日宣誓成为卑诗Sparwood市长。他在10月17日选举获864票，击败获334票的代理市长Amy Cardozo，成为卑诗已知首位公开跨性别身份的市长；六个议席中五席也由新人取得。报道重点是新任地方政府及其社区经历，不是宣布该镇刚举行另一场选举。

背景与具体影响

Kelloway已在这个矿业小镇生活逾三十年，回忆约15年前曾担心性别过渡后的处境而考虑迁走，但亲友、冰壶俱乐部及泳池工作人员的支持让他留下。他表示竞选并非围绕跨性别身份，而是回应居民觉得议会没有倾听的意见。

仍需留意

新市长希望拉近议员、市府职员和社区组织关系，并让不同背景的人愿意参与领导工作。这些是其任职愿景，是否改善透明与沟通仍须观察具体做法；个人受到接纳的经历也不能代表所有跨性别者的处境。
