Federal Green Party Leader Elizabeth May admits she won’t be coming to Bruce Grey Owen Sound during this election campaign.
However, May says the party is working on a town-hall style meeting where she can be there via video-link to take questions from the audience.
May tells Bayshore Broadcasting news she is disappointed she can’t stop in the riding, but the party wants her to focus on getting herself elected in B-C.
She says it is a neck and neck race in her riding with a current Conservative MP and she needs to knock on every door to drum up support.
No date has been set for a potential town-hall style session.
In Bruce Grey Owen Sound, the Green party candidate is Emma Jane Hogbin.
Hogbin is officially opening her campaign headquarters in Owen Sound at 10:30 AM on Saturday.
It is located at 937 2nd Avenue East and the launch celebration will include a “Campaign Cake” — based on a recipe Agnes Macphail shared with her constituents in February 1936.
She won the nomination last August, and Emma has previously served as Web consultant on two Green party campaigns run in Bruce Grey Owen Sound.
