The Federal election campaign is into its final few days and Foothills Green Party Candidate, Bridget Lacey, is working to get her party's message out.

She says one issue she's dealing with is the perception her party is out to destroy the oil industry.

While she says she wants to see oil production phased out, it's not without a plan.

"The Green Party's actually doing a lot of things to try and make sure people in the oil industry do stay employed and that we make some alternatives such as refining at home, as sort of a way of ensuring that we have a continuation of jobs and industry going into the next few decades as we wind down and transition to renewable energy."

Lacey, says her message is resonating with young voters.

"At the forum's especially I'm having a lot of people coming up and saying some really positive things and applause from the audience from young people. And then having the opposite kind of sentiments from the older people in the audience sometimes. So, I do see that it's coming from the young people the support for the Green Party for sure."

We'll also be seeing a visit from eco-warrior, Greta Thunberg here in Alberta before the election campaign is over.

She's made international headlines over her activism when it comes to what she calls a lack of action on green house gas emissions.

And she'll be appearing at a rally in Edmonton at noon on Friday October 18.

Lacey, says her visit could be very exciting.

"I'd love to have a chance to meet her. What she says is essential. Her message is essential. It's unfiltered in a way that maybe people are finding in a way they don't like to be scolded by a child. But I think that it's necessary to take into account that this is the future of these children. They're children now, but they're going to be adults in a few years."

Lacey says she's working hard to lock in votes heading into the election on Monday, October 21.
