NDP candidate holding round table today
A political round table discussion is being held this afternoon (Thursday June 30) from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at Kimberley’s Bean Tree Café.
Spring Hawes, BC NDP candidate for Columbia River-Revelstoke, will be hosting the discussion, seeking to learn more about issues in the riding.
Hawes is a former District of Invermere Councillor. She is a longtime resident, local business owner, two-term town councillor and active volunteer.
In 2005, Hawes was in a mountain biking accident that left her quadriplegic, but that hasn’t slowed her down. After rehabilitation and learning to live a new way, she has become a powerful advocate for accessibility and inclusion.
“I have had significant personal challenges, but that hasn’t limited me,” Hawes said, adding, “Serving my community is my passion. The opportunity to represent our region at the provincial level is an honour, and my experience in local government and as a local entrepreneur has given me the skills and understanding of what it takes to get the job done.”
