Parties out with major election promises for skills training, power plants

Thursday’s campaigning for the B.C. election is in full swing.

The BC Conservatives announced their promise to make it easier for communities in Northern B.C., like Smithers and Kitimat, to create their own local power generation plants.

The BC NDP focussed their own announcement on up-skilling British Columbians. Leader David Eby shared that if re-elected, the NDP will spend $115 million over three years to double the number of apprenticeships for those in trades.

BC Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau is slated to front media Thursday afternoon, focusing on mental health.

More to come.
