The marathon run that has become the BC Liberal Leadership contest has found that the Dog days of August just past have offered up some challenges to keep the profile of the leadership campaign on the minds of the public.
From a sudden burst of COVID back into the headlines, ongoing wildfires in the province and a Federal election campaign that is sucking all the oxygen out of the political dialogue at the moment, finding news of their travels across British Columbia has become somewhat hard to discover.
Such is the situation at the moment it seems, that the party has rescheduled their planned September 8th Leadership Debate, which would have been the first opportunity to hear the views and direction that the six candidates in the race have in mind for the party.
The new date for that first glimpse of the BC Liberal Leadership congregation all together will now come on September 28th, the event to be streamed live with a 7PM start time from the BC Liberal website portal.
Some of the travels from the campaign in the Prince Rupert area can be reviewed through the BC Liberal's North Coast Riding Facebook page
Currently there are six candidates in the race to become the next leader of the party they include Skeena's Ellis Ross, he was the first into the race and has since been joined by the following.
Val Litwin, Gavin Dew, Michael Lee, Kevin Falcon and Renee Merrifeld.
Links to all of their campaign FB pages can be found in red above.
The BC Liberals will select their next leader at their 2022 leadership convention on February 5th, 2022.
You can review some of the campaign themes from our Leadership tracker archive page.
As well, on occasion the leadership campaign finds some current in the daily provincial news flow, those entries can be found each day from our political blog D'Arcy McGee.
