A longtime District of Mackenzie councillor is calling it quits.
Amber Hipkiss is leaving her role after a decade of service.
She was first elected in 2014 and is re-locating to Prince George.
“Serving the community for the last ten years has been a privilege and a most rewarding experience. This decision was not easy, I will truly miss representing this
community. Working with the District staff, and especially the CAO and our current directors, has been truly an honour. While I’m sad to step away, I know that Mackenzie couldn’t be in more
capable hands. Thank you for the support, trust, and opportunities you have provided me during my tenure. I am proud of the work we have accomplished together and look forward to
watching this fabulous Council continue to move Mackenzie in the right direction.”
The official date for a by-election will be set once a Chief Election Officer is found.
“Council and staff are very sorry to see Amber leave our team, but are extremely grateful for her many contributions to our community. Amber has always been motivated by her love of Mackenzie and she will certainly be missed. We wish her well in this next exciting chapter of her life,” added Mayor Joan Atkinson.
