I dove into politics as an entrepreneur committed to making positive proactive change. It’s been an incredible honour to serve our city through such historic and challenging times.”Robertson first stepped onto the political scene with Vision Vancouver in 2008, after finding success as a juice baron.https://twitter.com/mayorgregor/status/951197634013704193?t=1&cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email&iid=548367cdc1834dcabfc2bfbe02945c6b&uid=32560628&nid=244+281088008He’ll still be holding court at City Hall until the October election season, but if you’d like to really immerse yourself in #TeamGregor while you still have a chance, may we recommend this article on Vancouver’s best-looking mayors?
