People in Prince Rupert, B.C,. are remembering Nelson Kinney, a longtime city councillor who died Saturday.

Kinney, 77, moved to the North Coast city in 1957 and was first elected to council in 2002 with a focus on improving the quality of life for seniors and youth.

He was elected four more times, most recently in 2014. His term would have been complete in November of this year.
