It was nearly a year ago, across the road from Northern Lights Estate Winery where he made today’s announcement , the BC United Party announced Giddens would be their candidate in the coming election.
“What gives me confidence that we can defeat the NDP is that I’ve heard from people in this riding and across the province that they’re hungry for change,” Giddens said.
“People want a new government, we’re not seeing the outcomes that people deserve, whether that’s in health care, whether that’s in public safety, whether that’s in affordability. I’ve heard this from now thousands of people that I’ve spoken to in our riding and they want change, and I want to be part of a movement that is bringing change to this province.”
Giddens replaces School District 57 Trustee Rachael Weber as the party’s candidate.
The provincial election will take place on October 19th.
