Green Party opens campaign office

Sep 4, 2019 | 5:13 PM

The Green Party is opening a campaign office in Vernon this week.

Marc Reinarz of Spallumcheen is representing the party in the North Okanagan Shuswap riding.

An opening reception will be held Sept. 5 from 4 to 6 p.m at the office at 3023 30th Avenue.

The party said the opportunities offered by transitioning to a new economy are topics Reinarz is fond of discussing.

“Besides the known environmental impacts of the Canadian oil sector, the oil industry is not sustainable from a business point of view,” he said.

Reinarz said his work skills and experience in Europe, Canada and the Middle East allow him to speak about the energy sector with passion and credibility.

Reinarz is one of five candidates for the riding, with the federal election scheduled for Oct. 21.
