Once it was announced that Penticton City Councillor Helana Konanz was selected without competition to be the Tory hopeful in the next federal election ODN asked her to make a comment on this issue:
Should a National Park Reserve be imposed on the people of the south Okanagan without their formal assent.
” Thanks for the congratulations and the question. As you can imagine I am being approached by those both for and against the park. I plan to spend the next few months reaching out to all citizens and stakeholders throughout this riding to find out their views and concerns on all issues. Specifically with the issue of the National Park I would like to see a detailed business plan with information on boundaries and costs associated, including infrastructure costs, before I can support or denounce the project. I do not sign blank checks. ”
Thanks and have a good weekend
Helena
