2012 BC LIBERAL OPEN CONVENTION
The BC Liberal Open Convention is taking place this October 26th and 27th at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler. Read an invite from Premier Christy Clark here.
Festivities begin on Thursday, October 25th with a "Convention-Eve" reception. We encourage delegates to arrive early to meet up with others from around B.C., meet special guests, and hit the ground running on Friday.
Convention formally begins on the morning of Friday, October 26th, including a breakfast hosted by the Women's Network and other formal party business.
That afternoon is devoted to "Free Enterprise Friday" where BCLP delegates will be joined by non-members to discuss important policy issues facing the province. There will be guest speakers, a variety of policy sessions and a "Unity Dinner" to cap off the day and hospitality suites to enjoy the night.
The BCLP Convention will resume Saturday, October 27th with the annual Caucus Breakfast, policy sessions, Cabinet Accountability town halls, Campaign College and will then finish with the Premier's keynote address and the Club 300 reception.
