He served as a school trustee from 1967 to 1970, and was a councilor and acting mayor of Winnipeg in 1972–1973. Marion was a founder of Club d'Hommes d'Affaires Franco-Manitobain.
In the 1973 provincial election, he was elected over Liberal-turned-New Democratic Party incumbent Laurent Desjardins by a single vote. His election was overturned, however, and he lost to Desjardins by 618 votes in a by-election held in late 1974.[3] He did not seek a return to the legislature after this time.[2]
