FOUR CANDIDATES VYING FOR THE BC LIBERAL NOMINATION IN PENTICTON

October 15, 2012

Penticton – The BC Liberal Party has announced the official slate of candidates seeking the Party’s nomination in Penticton.

The candidates include the Mayor of Summerland Janice Perrino, the past president of the BC School Trustees Association Connie Denesiuk, the Mayor of Penticton Dan Ashton, and local businessman Mark Ziebarth.

“I’m very pleased to have four strong candidates come forward and compete for the BC Liberal nomination in Penticton,” said current Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff. “These are quality candidates and I’m sure any one of them would make an excellent MLA.”

The BC Liberals have been busy nominating new candidates and returning MLAs across the province since July.

The new Penticton candidate will join the growing rank of candidates at the Party’s 2012 Convention in Whistler between October 25^th and 27^th. The Party is expecting a strong group of delegates for this year’s Convention, with over 750 already registered.

The candidate selection meeting in Penticton will take place on October 20^th at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Candidates are expected to speak around 10:00 am, with voting taking place after the speeches and results expected around 4:00 pm.
