Another BC Conservative leadership candidate is coming to town.
Yuri Fulmer will be in Vernon Saturday, March 28, from 3 to 4 p.m. at the 1516 Pub and Grill at 7673 Okanagan Landing Rd.
Interested residents can hear about his vision for British Columbia.
The Vernon visit follows a rescheduled stop in Cranbrook on Wednesday, March 25, at Ella’s at 5:30 p.m.
Fulmer is in Creston Thursday at A&W at 7:30 a.m. and in Nelson at Finley’s Bar and Grill at 5 p.m.
Trail’s Lil-T’s Cafe hosts him Friday at 8 a.m., then Fulmer is in Osoyoos March 27 at 12 p.m. at Smitty’s Family Restaurant and in Penticton at The Standard Space at 5 p.m.
Ahead of Vernon, Fulmer will be in Kelowna at 1 p.m. March 28 at the Curious Cafe and Bar Norcino. The candidate will then be in Salmon Arm Saturday at 6 p.m. at Setters Pub.
Fulmer is running for the B.C. Conservative Party leadership because he wants to fix what he called a “province in crisis.”
He says British Columbians face a broken health-care system, unsafe streets, unaffordable living costs, and worries about private property rights due to recent Indigenous rights court decisions.
“I share their concerns on all of these, and I’m running to make sure that there’s a government that can fix it,” Fulmer told Black Press Media in an interview.
Fulmer’s visit follows that of fellow candidates Caroline Elliott, Peter Milobar and Iain Black in the Okanagan.
The Conservative leadership race wraps up May 30.
