The Town of Comox is mourning the loss of former mayor Russ Arnott, who lost his battle with cancer on Remembrance Day.
Arnott, who called Comox home for more than two decades, served as mayor from 2018 to 2022 and was on town council for a total of 11 years.
But in September, just one day before the municipal election nomination deadline, he said health complications meant his time as mayor would be shorter than anticipated. He said he, his wife Yolonda and his family were staying “optimistic and keeping our heads up high and hopeful,” adding, “I hate goodbyes but there’s not much else to say…Thank you for the wonderful opportunity you gave me.”
In 2022 election campaign materials, he said his goal was to welcome growth “cautiously” to ensure Comox retains “that small town feel that is safe in a turbulent world.”Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.Passing along her condolences, Comox mayor Nicole Minions took to Facebook Friday and recalled Arnott as a community pillar recently awarded the Freedom of the Town to honour his accomplishments and character.
