Bachynski, 39, says since being sworn in on Nov. 18, along with eight first-time city councillors, a lot of his time has been dedicated to speaking with residents and training.
"Things are going well, there’s lots to learn and people to meet but so far so good," he said. "I love to learn new things and I have pivoted several times in my career specifically to challenge myself."
"This is a massive challenge, and I am up for it."
Bachynski defeated Sandra Masters on Nov. 13 by a margin of 3,400 votes, according to the City of Regina.
