Garth Frizzell recently announced he will seek re-election as a councillor during the 2022 Prince George municipal election set for Oct. 15.
In his announcement Frizzell outlined the successes and crises faced by the current council, and the challenges that will face the newly-elected city council in the term ahead.
Frizzell outlined the complex intergovernmental problems that will continue to face Prince George, including reconciliation, extreme climate events, homelessness, and the epidemic of mental health and addictions. “We have a lot of work to do,” Frizzell said. “Our people feel it locally, but the solutions demand common purpose with provincial and federal partners. More than ever, the challenges in our next term will be marked by the need to advocate effectively to provincial and federal government leaders when we can, and pressure them when needed. We’ll need to have all hands on deck to address huge inter-governmental challenges.
Frizzell is an entrepreneur and businessman with more than a decade of demonstrated award-winning success in technology business development. Past-president of the Prince George Chamber of Commerce and six years appointed to the Province of BC Small Business Roundtable. He teaches law, entrepreneurship, computer studies and economics in the College of New Caledonia's Business Department.
His volunteer economic development work with FCM International included projects in Colombia, Ukraine, Brazil, Senegal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, and Peru. After being elected by peer officials for more than a decade to the board of directors, he was named president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities during the COVID pandemic.
