VANCOUVER – Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate Gregor Robertson announced
today that he is resigning as the MLA for Vancouver Fairview, effective
July 15th.

“I have taken a couple of days to consider the situation after an amazing

be focused on reaching out to all of the citizens of Vancouver, and
gaining their input, insight, and support for my Mayoral bid, and the
Vision Vancouver campaign.”
