Wyatt Scott is running for the Mission mayor’s chair in the upcoming municipal election on Oct. 20.
“Leadership is in my blood and Mission is my home. Volunteering in my community since I was 12 years old has given me invaluable skills, knowledge, confidence and empathy for the marginalized. Seven years post secondary education and over 10 businesses at 41 years of age, I get it,” Scott said.
He said being the mayor is more than a full-time job.
“As a Gen Xer, I’ve had the opportunity to grow up at the tail end of the golden era, which gives me a unique perspective to bridge the way between the previous and next generations.
“Whether it was working for the BC NDP or at UFV, I have always been a driving force of pragmatism and positivity. My leadership style is one of inclusiveness while working with and mentoring the next generation. Physically, mentally and spiritually in my prime, I have the energy, innovation and creativity to unite a fresh council and make Mission what it could be,” Scott said.
