Election issues: Rural communities
KAMLOOPS — With the major party leaders spending countless hours campaigning in the Lower Mainland and large urban centres it’s easy for residents of rural communities to feel forgotten about.
But candidates in the Kamloops ridings say that’s not the case, each identifying a number of issues they plan to tackle if elected on May 9th.
“What we need to be doing is encouraging a lot more innovation,” said Kamloops-North Thompson Green Party candidate Dan Hines, “a lot more small and medium-size business, far more creative marriage between technology and resource and development.”
