As for why he decided to run, MacGilivrary says he has always had a focus on community, both professionally and as mayor for the past eight years.
When incumbent Pat Dunn decided not to re-offer, MacGillivrary says he saw this as an opportunity to step up and further the interests of Pictou Centre.
Among MacGillivray’s priorities is ensuring that construction on a new school in Trenton moves forward, continuing investments in supportive and affordable housing,  support for the non-profit sector, continuing investments in health care and tax relief.
