For Immediate
Release
12 April 2013
Vancouver - The Green Party of BC is pleased to announce that Stuart Mackinnon will
represent the party in Vancouver Fraserview in the May 14, 2013 provincial
election.
Stuart is a
former Vancouver Park Board Commissioner who represented the Green Party from
2008 to 2011. He focused on parks and public space issues and fought against
fee raises for children and the closing of the Bloedel Conservatory.
“Fraserview
deserves better” comments Stuart Mackinnon. “I want to give the people of
Fraserview a choice in this election. I want to fight for a better tomorrow for
Fraserview and all the people of British Columbia by offering them a clean,
bright future based on sustainability and green ideals.”
Stuart lives
in the Fraserlands neighbourhood and teaches at Killarney Secondary school. He
is also a Governor of the VanDusen Botanical Garden Association and a board
member of Axis Threatre.
“The Green
Party represents a change from the old style politics and brings a sense of
hope for a brighter, more honest political system” continued Mackinnon. “Fraserview
needs an MLA who lives, works, and plays in this neighbourhood, not someone who
just represents it. Fraserview deserves better. British Columbia deserves
better.”
Stuart joins
a team of passionate people who want to represent the citizens of their
constituency in the BC Legislative Assembly,” comments Jane Sterk, leader of
the Green Party of BC. “These are new times. Our candidates have new ideas.”
“A vote for Stuart
Mackinnon is a vote for real change,” concludes Sterk.
