Decision day has arrived for New Democrats in Vancouver-Fairview as they choose the man who will run for the party in next May’s election.
Vancouver City Councillor Geoff Meggs is in a hotly contested race with Sierra Club Executive Director George Heyman.
“There’s a lot of enthusiasm because of my experience on council and the issues that have been identified with there like housing and transit, so I’m feeling a lot of support and I’m sure it will be very intense,” says Meggs.
For his part, heyman says the party will be unified, no matter who takes the nomination: “We all have the same goal, and that’s to win the election. It’s healthy to have a contest, people have told me how lucky they feel to have two really good candidates.”
The riding is currently held by Liberal Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid.
