Marissen is also a senior advisor to McMillan Vantage Policy Group, affiliated with McMillan LLP, a Canadian business law firm. Marissen recently announced that he is a candidate for Mayor of Vancouver. He will be seeking the nomination for Progress Vancouver, formerly known as YES Vancouver. In July 2018, Marissen helped to create YES Vancouver, a new \"YIMBY\" municipal political party devoted to solving Vancouver's housing crisis by focusing on zoning reform. YES Vancouver ran candidates for council, school board and park board. Hector Bremner, a councillor for the Non Partisan Association of Vancouver, ran for mayor under the YES banner, but only took 5.73% of the vote. Marissen was also a director of Pacific Future Energy Corporation, working with former Appeal Court Judge Wally Oppal, former International Trade Minister Stockwell Day and former National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations Shawn Atleo. Former National Chief Ovide Mercredi and Dave Coles, former President of the Canadian Communications, Energy and Paperworkers union (CEP), were also involved in the project. Marissen is the co-founder of Kanata Clean Energy. Marissen graduated from Carleton University with a bachelor's degree in political science, and also attended Simon Fraser University. Marissen resides in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has one child (Hamish Marissen-Clark) by his ex-wife, the 35th British Columbia Premier Christy Clark. Marissen's older brother is professor of music Michael Marissen."@en . . ""@en . "Mark Marissen"@en . . . . . . . . . "June 2017"@en . . . "4416124"^^ . "1"^^ . "Mark Marissen"@en . .
