NEW WESTMINSTER B.C. – David Suzuki joined Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C. Green Party, and Jonina Campbell, B.C. Green candidate for New Westminster, for a campaign event today in New Westminster. Approximately 50 people poured into Campbell’s campaign office and out into the streets to hear from the Canadian icon, scientist and environmentalist.

“A vote for the Greens is a vote for more Green MLAs,” Suzuki said.

Suzuki recently endorsed the B.C. Green Party for the May 9 provincial election. It is the first time Suzuki has endorsed an entire political party.

Speaking of Campbell, Suzuki added, “I can’t think of a better person to come in and add her expertise in education to the Green agenda.”
