City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto is seeking a fourth term in the city's top job.
Mussatto launched his darrellmussatto.ca website and issued a press release earlier this week announcing his re-election campaign. Mussatto said he plans to run on his positive, progressive values and his record on council.
"We have achieved a lot in the city over the past nine years," Mussatto said in the release. "We have a hugely successful new library, a new community centre, and an expanding network of trails and bike paths.
"We have protected important heritage buildings like the Queen Mary and Ridgeway schools.
"We've promoted new housing choices for young people and seniors so families can stay together in North Vancouver for the long term."
Other points of pride on the mayor's list include reducing the city's carbon footprint, setting up the Lonsdale Energy Corp. and supporting Loutet Farm, all while keeping taxes low and the city's finances in good shape.
Still, Mussatto said he has a number of things on his council to-do list for the upcoming four-year term.
"I want to continue this work," Mussatto said. "We have a tremendous opportunity in the Shipyards district and I want to see it through to completion. Across the city, we still have important work to do on housing and recreation services."
So far, council watchers Kerry Morris and George Pringle have challenged Mussatto for the chain of office. The nomination period for the Nov. 15 election closes Friday at 4 p.m.
