Kate and her mum check out the Steelback Centre

Kate Sheehan brought her mom Lisa to the big opening party at the Steelback Centre on Saturday night.

She brought her dad Terry, too.

But, you know - Kate's dad is a Ward 2 councillor facing another election next month.

And with people like Susan Milne and Susan Myers trying to take his job, it was really important that Terry shake everybody's hand so they could think "What a nice, clean-cut young man" and vote for him on November 13.

Kate's dad couldn't be in this picture, but SooToday.com took a lot more.

To see who else was at last night's party, check out the photo gallery below.
