Fernie resident seeking Green Party nomination
Green Party meetings are being held in Cranbrook and Revelstoke to provide an opportunity for the public and party members to learn about party policies and the two people seeking the Green Party nomination for the October 21 federal election.
The two individuals seeking the nomination are Abra Brynne and Kerri Wall (pictured above).
The Cranbrook meeting will be held 7 – 9 p.m., Thursday, July 4 at the College of the Rockies. (Look for signs with the meeting room number).
The Revelstoke meeting will follow on Sunday July 7, 7 – 9 p.m. at the Revelstoke United Church (basement).
All interested people, as well as Green Party members, are welcome to attend to learn about Abra and Kerri, one of whom will be chosen on July 14 as the Green Party candidate.
A very successful ‘meet the nomination contestants’ meeting was held in Nelson on June 25. Thirty-five people attended and all were deeply impressed by both of the contestants.
Abra Brynne is a resident of Nelson, deeply involved in food security work locally, regionally and nationally. After the Nelson meeting, Abra said: “It was inspiring and humbling to be in a room full of dedicated, passionate people who truly care about the future of our country and our planet. If I am chosen to be the candidate, I realize that the bulk of the responsibility and work rests on my shoulders, but I am thrilled and relieved to know that whichever of us is chosen will be supported by such wonderful and knowledgeable Green Party members.”
Kerri Wall lives in Fernie and, working for Interior Health, provides health policy advice and support to local governments. After the meeting, Kerri said: “The Green Party stands as strong as ever on policies for people and the planet – shifting away from fossil fuels, adopting basic income, electoral reform, etc. – but what really sets them apart is their commitment to collaborative governance. All of this was evident at the Nelson event, where Green Party members, folks from the general public, and the nomination contestants themselves showed up with warmth, respect, intelligence, and optimism.”
