Letnick and Thomson blow off candidate forum

Kelowna-area Liberal candidates were no-shows at a candidates forum focused on children and family poverty on Thursday.

Letnick and Kelowna-Mission colleague Steve Thomson both declined invitations to the event, said Myrna Kalmakoff, co-ordinator with Community Action Toward Children’s Health, one of the hosts of the event.

Premier Christy Clark, Liberal candidate for Kelowna West, did not respond to the invitation.

“I found it disappointing there was no Liberal representation there,” said Kalmakoff.
