Announcement from Mayor's Office
Friday, November 1, 2019 – As we pass the one-year marker that sees municipal leaders across the province thinking ahead to next October’s election, I have taken time to reflect on my own priorities and aspirations and I have decided not to reoffer as Mayor of the Town of Lunenburg. While coming to this decision is difficult, I make it feeling good in the knowledge that I have contributed positively to my beloved hometown and with the confidence that Lunenburg’s future is bright.
