BC Liberal leadership candidate Dianne Watts is kicking off her province-wide tour here on Vancouver Island Monday and Tuesday with visits to Duncan and Ladysmith Monday, and Nanaimo and Courtenay Tuesday.
Watts says communities are the engine of economic growth in the province and she is committed to strengthening those relationships.
Among her key issues: Ensuring taxes from the legalization of cannabis goes to municipalities; Ensuring local governments have a say in the development of a comprehensive energy strategy; and supporting communities affected by the recent wildfires.
