About Mark Sager

West Vancouver has always been my home and I love it here. My life began in a small suite above my parents’ furniture store in Dundarave before we moved to West Bay where I attended both West Bay and Hillside schools. When I was barely out of my teens, I was elected as a School Trustee followed by Board Chair and elected as a Councillor and finally, in 1991, was elected as Mayor of West Vancouver.
