Todd Corrigall has withdrawn his campaign to become the next mayor of Prince George in the Oct. 15 municipal election.
On the weekend, Corrigall ended up in emergency at UNHBC with unexpected health issues, a campaign release issued Tuesday morning stated. He was admitted and remains in hospital for observation and further tests.
“I am extremely disappointed that we can’t continue my campaign of listening and learning from the community, and bringing change,” Corrigall said. “I want to thank all those who have taken the time to talk, participate in our survey, volunteer, donate, or share their concerns about the future of Prince George. I believe in this community and wish all who have put their names forward for mayor and council well in the weeks and months ahead.”
Corrigall, the Prince George Chamber of Commerce CEO, announced his mayoral campaign on Aug. 17 at Wood Innovation Square, promising to focus a safe and livable community, respect for the taxpayers, local government that actually listens, and positive change through real leadership.
