New Westminster MLA Chuck Puchmayr has announced he is battling liver cancer, and will not be a candidate in the next provincial election. 

Puchmayr says it’s become clear in the past few days that he’s going to have to dedicate all of this energy to this battle.

He says it’s been an honour to serve the people of New Westminster as their MLA and city councillor for nine years prior to that.
