In a statement released Tuesday, Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie announced that he will not be seeking re-election next October, at which point he will have served in the role for 25 years.
“It has been an immense honour and a privilege to have served the City through times of growth, opportunity and challenge,” Brodie wrote.
He added, “I am very grateful to all and will leave office fully confident that the Mayors and City Councillors of the future will preserve the legacies built over the years while they enhance the stature of Richmond as an important urban centre in the Province.”
During his tenure, Brodie oversaw major projects, including the construction of the Richmond Oval for the 2010 Games and the Canada Line.
In recent months, Brodie faced criticism after reports revealed he was earning over $300,000 from his positions on the boards of the Metro Vancouver Regional District and TransLink.
The next general local elections in B.C. are scheduled for October 17, 2026. Brodie stated that he will “continue to remain fully engaged” in his role until the end of his term.
