Kooner was appointed chairwoman of the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee.
Bains was appointed chairman of the Investment, Innovation and Business Committee.
Hepner was appointed chairman of Parks, Recreation and Sport Tourism Committee, and Kooner its vice-chairwoman.
Annis inquired why the Environmental and Climate Change Committee wasn't on the list.
"That one isn't quite ready," Mayor Brenda Locke replied. She said it will come forward either at the next council meeting or the one after. "I just wasn't ready for that one quite yet so that will come forward."
