Town of the Pas Mayor Andre Murphy officially stepped down as mayor on Monday, August 10th, after eight years of municipal service, including the last four as mayor.

In a statement, the outgoing mayor says the decision was difficult, but the opportunity to be closer to family and grandchildren made it the right choice.

The mayor thanked residents and colleagues for their support, challenges and partnership over the years.

While leaving office, the mayor says The Pas will always be home, adding that this is not goodbye, but more of a “see you later.”
