BC NDP Labour Critic Shane Simpson and Kootenay East Candidate Norma Blissett will speak to the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada at their 51^st Annual Provincial Convention this week in Cranbrook.

Blissett, a former forester, says she looks forward to addressing the group and sharing some of the practical steps the BC NDP will take toward growing a sustainable economy in our province.

“I have been in pulp mills in Temiscaming, Espanola, Dryden and Skookumchuck.  I know the value of the pulp and paper industry, particularly to rural economies,” she said.

Simpson and Blissett are scheduled to speak at 1:30pm Thursday March 7th at the Heritage Inn.
