Gary Vidal to represent Tories in 2019 federal election for Desnethé – Missinippi – Churchill River
The mayor of Meadow Lake will represent the Conservative Party in the riding of Desnethé – Missinippi – Churchill River for the 2019 federal election.
Gary Vidal won the nomination following a vote in the riding this past week.
Vidal, who was born and raised in Meadow Lake, was elected Mayor in September 2011 and is now serving in his third term. He said conversations still need to be had with city council on what will happen should he win the seat next year.
Speaking to meadowlakeNOW, Vidal called the new role “a great new opportunity” to potentially go to Ottawa, “have our voices heard and represent the people of this area.”
