Campaign to resume Thursday

KELOWNA—Premier

Christy Clark resumes her on-the-ground campaigning in the Westside-Kelowna byelection on Thursday (June 20), after time out for essential government work.
The premier left the constituency and campaign for Winnipeg, for a meeting of Canada’s four western premiers and the three territorial premiers, set for Sunday and Monday. Economic and educational issues were on the draft agenda, along with a proposed national disaster-mitigation program.
On Friday (June 14) the premier met in Kelowna for an hour with Alberta premier Alison Redford. Clark said the meeting was very constructive and the pair had agreed to create a ministerial working group that would focus on skills training, immigration and labour.
Both agreed the B.C. and Alberta economies are a priority and that Canada needs to help them create jobs and find workers.
Said Clark: “We will present a united front to decision-makers across the country to make sure our provinces have the tools we need to be able to grow our respective economies.”
