ADVISORY: BC Conservative open Kamloops South Thompson Campaign Office

This Friday will mark the official kick-off, to the Peter Sharp election campaign, for the riding of Kamloops South Thompson. 

"I'm delighted with the hard work of our campaign in finding what I believe to be an excellent location, where we will be able to meet and talk to voters during the days ahead, to May 14th when ballots will be cast", stated Sharp.

"We as BC Conservatives are going in to this campaign saying 'We BELIEVE in BC'."

"That's more than just a catchy slogan", Sharp continued.  "We do believe in BC ... in the resourcefulness of our people, in our ability to dream and achieve big dreams, in our ability to create the kinds of jobs where people can raise a family and own a home, and our ability to be the job-driver of the Canadian economy." 

"YES ... we believe in BC!"

BC Conservative candidate Peter Sharp will be joined by several friends, from the Kamloops Pipeband Society, as they pipe him up Victoria Street to the campaign office.

The campaign office, at 324 Victoria Street, will then have an official ribbon cutting ceremony.

On hand for the occasion, will be BC Conservative party leader John Cummins. 

“Peter is an outstanding candidate for our party,” said John Cummins.  “Peter has a lengthy record of public service, both with the RCMP and as an elected city councilor.  I'm proud to have him on our team.” 

Also playing a role in the festivities will be long-time friend, and barber, John DeCicco. Like Peter, John is also a former Kamloops City Councillor.

Said Peter, "On budget day the Finance Minister has a new pair of shoes.  I've asked my friend John to come across the street from his barber shop to give me the 'official campaign kick-off haircut'.  I am delighted he has agreed!"

Members of the public are invited to stop by for the opening celebration, which will continue through to 6pm.
