READ: A Giant in our Midst - Richmond's Harold Steves to Step Down from City Council "If ever there was someone in Metro Vancouver who is an unsung hero and sho...uld be receiving the Order of Canada it is Richmond City Councillor Harold Steves, who is a farmer, ecologist, and one of the longest-serving City Councillors in Canada. It’s no surprise that we’ve all followed up on why Mr. Steves has not been tapped for the honour only to find that you cannot receive the Order of Canada while you are an elected official. That will change at the next civic election, as Mr. Steves has announced he will be retiring from Council." ~ Sandy James #BCPoli #ALR #VanRE #SaveOurSoil #SaveFarmland #NoMegaManisons #FoodSecurity #FeedBC #RichmondBC

Steves declares 'retirement' from Richmond council in a tweet
