High River's newest town councillor has had a full month to get his feet wet.

Michael Nychyk won the by-election in October has has been busy ever since.

"Right now we're really busy, it's budget time for us so we're heavily vested in that and working to come up with an approved budget sometime in December," he says.

And Nychyk says he may be a little weird in that he likes dealing with numbers.

"I like that stuff so I enjoy that aspect of business and now this aspect t with the Town so it's good, I'm enjoying it, it's lots of work and we'll get through it and come up hopefully with something everybody in the community's happy with," Nychyk says.

Nychyk says he's been working to fit in with council and administration and so far it's gone well.
