Elected

Shaun Freeman of Savona, as well as Michael Beauclair of Merritt.
Following
the election of the board members, Forseth then went on to announce
the first person approved to seek the nomination for Fraser Nicola.
"It
is my pleasure today to introduce you to an individual who is
married, has two children, and who lives in the community of Merritt.
He has worked with timber for over 24 years, and has scale and
graded our provinces most precious natural resource for 17 years on
the Coast and the Interior."
"That
individual is Michael Beauclair"
Mr.
Beauclair spoke for several minutes, talking the time to let members
know a bit about himself, and the things that are, and will be,
important to voters in the riding in the next election.
"I
believe that the key to prosperity, in extracting natural resources,
is free-market system that is based on honest weights and measures.
I also believe in, and am a strong advocate of, value-added
manufacturing of forest products."

Beauclair
continued, "We
have all seen first hand the every increasing job loses in the forest
industry in recent years. We must ensure that we extract more value
from our forests to, sustain both employment now, and into the
future."
"If
you choose to elect me to represent you in the riding of Fraser
Nicola, I stand fully committed to the BC Conservative Party ideals
of honesty, accountability and personal responsibility. These
elements are key in delivery of honest, open and limited
government.",
he went on to say.
In
the weeks and months ahead Michael will engage the people of the
Fraser-Nicola, and promote the ideals of the BC Conservative Party,
as he campaigns to win the parties nomination.
