Adrian Dix, leader of the BC NDP, recently visited Kimberley and Cranbrook.
A fundraising wine and cheese get together was held at local member Norma Blissett’s house. Norm Macdonald MLA for Columbia River Revelstoke and Michelle Mungall MLA for Nelson-Creston ridings were also present.
Norma introduced Mr. Dix who gave an inspiring talk about what is currently happening in BC politics and how the NDP are challenging the Liberals concerning cuts to the Community Living BC budget and group homes while waiting lists for services grow. He also announced that his party is proposing to dedicate $100 million to support post secondary education through the reinstated needs-based student grant program.
The Kootenay East NDP executive were quite pleased by the turnout and support for the fundraising event and see this as a good sign for things to come in Kootenay East.
