The Fraser-Nicola riding is currently held by an NDPer, Harry Lali. To celebrate the 150th birthday of British Columbia, the local Liberal Riding Association has decided to Make Harry History. This morning - armed with caffeine, sugar, and the skills we honed in kindergarten - the BCYL Road to Victory crew helped the Fraser-Nicola Liberals get one step closer to that goal.
After driving the hotel's restaurant into a frenzy at the sight of its first ever group of nine, we made our way to Sanders & Co Contracting where our day's adventures would begin. We were greeted there by the Riding Association... and a huge pile of flyers. In an awesome return to the days of pre-school craft time, all twenty-something of the volunteers in the room grabbed a stack of flyers and a sheet of stickers and got to work putting the local group's information on the flyers. As you can tell from the second photo above, I did next to nothing and watched everyone else work. It was perfect.
So, with our flyers all sporting perfectly-attached stickers, we were ready to hit the streets! The huge turnout of local volunteers meant we were able to cover the entire town with BC Liberal brochures. My personal highlight came with a woman who was standing on her porch while I did the neighbour's house:
Woman (excited): Oh, are those the flyers for the soccer camp?
Kevin: It's actually some information from the BC Liberals about what we've achieved in the province, since we're only one year away from the election.
Woman (no longer even remotely excited): Oh. *takes flyer* Okay.
Anyway, with the flyer drop finished, the golf tournament is next up!
