Local New Democrats will select their candidate this weekend for next May's BC election. The two candidates are Mark Olsen, who is the local president for CUPE school district support staff, and Jeet Dukhia, who is the chief engineer at Vernon Jubilee Hospital and a strong opponent to using a P-3 agreement for the hospital expansion project. Olsen also ran for the nomination in 2005, which was won by Juliette Cunningham. The Vernon Monashee NDP Constituency Association will hold it's nomination meeting this Sunday at the Halina Centre in the Vernon Rec Centre complex. Registration is 1 with the meeting starting at 2.
