New Brunswick city councillor quits to work as lifeguard in the Bahamas
A New Brunswick city councillor has stepped down to take an unlikely gig: lifeguard in the Bahamas.
Jordan Nowlan was one of the province’s youngest-ever politicians — he was in high school when he ran for Dieppe city council in 2012 and he turned 19 the day after he was elected.
But after five-and-a-half-years as a councillor-at-large, the 24-year-old recently quit to work as a lifeguard at Castaway Cay, a private island that serves as an exclusive port for Disney Cruise Line ships.
“I absolutely loved being an elected official,” Nowlan said in a telephone interview from the Bahamas.
