Get ready, Durham residents, because City Hall is about to welcome fresh faces to its chambers. The Oath of Office Ceremony is all set for December 1 at 7 p.m. where the City of Durham Mayor and City Council Members will be sworn in. The elected officials include Mayor Leonardo Williams, Ward 1 Council Member Matt Kopac, Ward 2 Council Member Shanetta Burris, and Ward 3 Council Member Chelsea Cook.
The ceremony isn't just for the local government aficionados; it's open to the public. Seats are available in the City Hall Council Chambers, located at 101 City Hall Plaza, First Floor, in Durham. But get there early – if seating becomes full inside the chambers, you'll be ushered to the City Hall lobby, where overflow seating with live broadcast viewing will be ready.
Can't make it in person? No worries—if you're a Durham resident or just interested in local governance, you can still be a part of the ceremony. According to the official City of Durham announcement, the event will be broadcast and livestreamed across multiple platforms. Tune in via the Durham Television Network, on Spectrum channel 8 or digital channel 1302, AT&T U-verse channel 99, or through the City of Durham YouTube channel, Facebook page, or website. Tech-savvy viewers can also catch the ceremony through the Boxcast app on Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire TV.
