Coun. Erwin Wiens has decided to run again for town council after previously announcing he was done after one term.

“I want to keep championing the agricultural industry in Niagara-on-the-Lake and at this point in time, I feel that I’m the best person to do that,” Wiens said in an interview on Wednesday.

Besides agriculture, Wiens, a grape farmer, said he wants to focus  on building a sustainable budget.

“The second you realize you’re not sustainable you have to work towards that immediately,” he said.

“It’s not my money, it’s the residents’ money and I have to be more responsible with resident money than I have to be with my own money.”

He said he was encouraged to run again by his wife, Dorothy Soo-Wiens.

“It wasn’t an easy decision at all but it’s an important job.”
