CKSR NDP campaign launch underway
Two events this week wrap up the formal nomination contest for the NDP candidacy in the new federal riding of Columbia–Kootenay–Southern Rockies (CKSR).
Today, Thursday, February 27, at the Nelson Innovation Centre, media and the public are invited to meet Keith Page and Kallee Lins, the two nominees for the candidacy.
