PRINCE GEORGE – Green Party supporters and candidates were busy Thursday afternoon setting up their campaign headquarters on 7th Avenue downtown.

The Green Party candidates for this federal election revealed earlier this week are second-time Catharine Kendall for Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies and first-time candidate Dr. Leigh Hunsinger-Chang for Cariboo-Prince George.

Kendall says the focus for the party remains climate change, although says other issues like the opioid crisis and mental health are also top priorities this election period for her and the party.

“I’m running because we have a climate crisis,” says Kendall. “That issue is not going away, we have glaciers melting and it needs to be dealt with.”
