Lunenburg Mayor Reflects On 33 Years In Office!

Lunenburg Mayor Laurence Mawhinney

There are many residents of Lunenburg who have never known the town without Mayor Laurence Mawhinney. But in the next few weeks, the 33 year veteran of the office will be retiring, making way for one of two candidates running in tomorrow's municipal election. Mawhinney's first foray into politics was at age 29. Later, he ran provincially and federally but lost. Then, he became involved in municipal politics and never looked back. Mawhinney says he's grateful for the course his life has taken.



Mayor Mawhinney is an ordained Presbeterian church minister. After retirement from the mayoralty, he and his wife plan to continue ministering to several churches in the area.
