Coun. Frank Everitt has announced he will not be seeking re-election during the upcoming municipal elections on Oct. 15.
Everitt has lived and worked in Prince George for nearly 40 years. He became the president of United Steelworkers in 1983 and has also been very active sitting on boards such as Spruce Credit Union, CNC and CNIB.
“As many of you may already know I will not be seeking re-election for a fourth term. Thank you to the citizens of Prince George for giving me the privilege to be on city council for the past eleven years,” said Everitt in a statement sent to the Citizen.
“Together, with my fellow councillors we have seen record-breaking investment in our city in both residential and commercial building. Our city is certainly living up to its name as the Northern Capital and hub for the north! Families continue to move here for work and affordable housing, in one of the best areas in the province.”
Everitt thanked city staff and council as well as voters who supported him in previous elections.
“Lastly, let me say thank you to my wife Kathy and family for allowing me to pursue my passion within our community.”
