All Candidates Debate @ UNBC Oct. 2 - Gwen Johansson Pursues Prince George–Valemount Riding Seat with the Green Party

Gwen Johansson, former Councillor come Mayor of Hudson’s Hope, a community in BC’s Peace Country region became a crowd favourite at the all candidates debate held on UNBC campus Tuesday October 2nd. Candidates running for the Prince George–Valemount seat were invited to the all candidates forum announced in late July. Johannson was the only candidate in attendance for the forum. The moderator of the event, Gil Quesnelle did well to ask the candidate careful questions regardless, and opened further questioning up to those in attendance.

Johansson revealed her experience working between local government, individual stakeholders, and resource corporations, positions on environment and energy generation, and her commitment to the region she grew up in as a resident of McBride.
