=============
 

Three of the four candidates who are looking to represent the Sunshine Coast provincially had plenty of chances to promote themselves at the all-candidates forums this week.

The Green Party’s Kim Darwin says the focus should be on the economy as well as tackling climate change and she believes she’s a great candidate because she can also work with other parties.

 

BC Liberal’s Mathew Wilson says he grew up in the community and he chose to come back because he wants to see it continue to prosper and grow.

 

NDP’s Nicholas Simons believes the current provincial government has harmed its citizens over the last 16 years and there are better options out there.

 

Another all candidates forum will be taking place at the Roberts Creek Hall tonight (Fri).   It starts at 7 and it’s being hosted by the SC Conservation association.
