SALMON ARM, B.C. — A Salmon Arm city councillor will carry the BC New Democratic Party (NDP) banner in October’s provincial election.

In a news release, the BC NDP announced Sylvia Lindgren as its candidate for the Salmon Arm-Shuswap riding.

Lindgren was first elected to Salmon Arm council in the 2018 municipal election and was re-elected in 2022.

“People across Salmon Arm-Shuswap need a government that will take action to strengthen public services and tackle today’s big challenges head-on,” Lindgren states.

With Lindgren receiving the NDP nomination, all three parties with official party status in the B.C. Legislative Assembly who are running candidates in the election now have their MLA hopefuls for the Salmon Arm-Shuswap riding.
