Harrietha kicks off campaign

Liberal candidate and general manager of the McMurray Métis Local kicked off his federal campaign in Cold Lake on March 21. Harrietha is campaigning for MP for Fort McMurray—Cold Lake. His by-election results in early 2014, when he ran as the Liberal candidate in the Fort McMurray-Athabasca riding, were the strongest showing for the Liberals since 1968. “We will be building on the momentum we generated last summer during our campaign for change on the doorstep as we work to ensure our government begins to treat the places we live as real communities and not just work camps,” said Harrietha. “We’ll be knocking on every door, from Cold Lake to Fort Chipewyan, to ensure everyone knows that we want to work with them to deliver positive change for our communities.” The general federal election is set for Oct. 19, 2015.
