BC NDP and Liberal candidates are already in place in the Boundary Similkameen riding, and the Green Party is still searching - courtesy Elections B.C.

The Green Party’s drive to find a candidate to run in the Boundary Similkameen riding has, so far, been unsuccessful.

Local organizers held a series of meetings last week in Oliver, Princeton and Grand Forks hoping to find a candidate for the far-flung riding.

Green Party organizer, Dave Cursons of Cawston, says he is still hopeful a Green Party candidate can be found to run in the May 9 provincial election. Deadline to register a candidate with Elections BC is April 18.
