Harrison Hot Springs councillor to step down after 8 years
HARRISON HOT SPRINGS – A two-term councillor on the Village of Harrison Hot Springs council announced Wednesday morning (Sept. 2) he won’t seek re-election this fall.
Councillor Mark Schweinbenz, who was first elected in October 2018, believes he can make a difference in the broader community through other passions and interests in his life.
“After careful consideration I have decided that I will not be running for Council re-election. I have decided to pursue other opportunities and avenues to make a difference in things that I am passionate about,” said Schweinbenz, who served on the Environmental Advisory Committee and as an external agency appointee to the Agassiz-Harrison Historical Society and Agassiz-Harrison Food Coalition.
He said serving the community of Harrison Hot Springs was truly a privilege because of the people he met and the shared collaboration with his colleagues.
