What do people like doing with their Sundays?
By Cheryl Chan, The Province
In the twilight of his reign as mayor of Vancouver, Sam Sullivan tells The Province what Sundays have been like for him and wife Lynn Zanatta, and what he envisions for his post-mayoral Sundays. Hint: No speeches or ribbon-cutting, less handshaking, more hand-holding. You were elected mayor in 2005. What have Sundays been like?
Up until very recently, it was just constantly at events — three or four events — on Sundays. Lynn was married to the city, basically. She was completely focused I got everywhere I needed to get to. She loved it, too. But the reality of the last few years is that we go to events we were invited to. I give my mayoral speeches and cut my ribbons. Now that I’m winding down my mayoral roles, it’s quite nice. It’s a pleasure to be able to reconnect with Lynn. We’re actually spending time together and doing walks, reading, things like that. I’d still go to events on the weekends, but nothing as strenuous as before. Where do you and Lynn go for walks?
