The Liberal candidate for Huron-Bruce in the upcoming provincial election will have the party’s leader by her side, when her campaign launches in Brussels.
Shelley Blackmore will launch her campaign Wednesday night, at the Four Winds Wedding and Event Barn.
By her side will be Ontario Liberal Party leader Steven Del Duca, who Blackmore says is making his third visit to the riding of Huron-Bruce.
Blackmore says there are several big issues currently facing rural Ontario.
They include, according to Blackmore: lack of access to social services; access to transportation; shortage of skilled labour; lack of affordable housing; and a lack of home care.
The provincial riding of Huron-Bruce was last Liberal between 2003 and 2011, under former MPP Carol Mitchell.
It was in 2011 Progressive Conservative Lisa Thompson captured the riding, and maintained her role under Liberal and PC governments.
Blackmore’s campaign launch begins at 7:30, and proof of vaccination is required for entrance.
