Slater declares intentions

slater400Former Liberal MLA and former Mayor of Osoyoos John Slater will try for a seat on town council this fall. He has yet to determine whether he will run for the Mayor’s chair or for a position as Councillor.

Slater was elected to town council in 1990 and 12 years later made a successful run for Mayor.

In 2009, running as a Liberal, he was elected as the MLA for Boundary-Similkameen.

Shortly before the 2013 provincial election, Slater resigned from the Liberal caucus after the party refused to sign his nomination papers, citing unspecified “personal issues.”
