Nomination meetings yesterday and tonight
Last night, Teslin hosted a Yukon Party Nomination meeting for the Pelly-Nisutlin Riding. Two people vied for the nomination: Marian Horne and James Smarch. Both are members of the Teslin Tlingit First Nation. Marian Horne won, and is quoted as stating, "The Yukon Party Government recognizes the need for more women in politics."
It was impressive that 2 people wanted that nomination. Premier Fentie (who was there) said it was gratifying to see young Yukoners step forward and taken an active role in the political process.
MLA Dean Hassard, current rep for the Pelly Nisutlin Riding was also present, to hand over the reins to Ms Horne. Tonight, he will seek the Yukon Party nomination of Porter Creek South (6:30 pm, Holy Family School).
