There won’t be any drama on Sunday when the NDP’s Columbia River Revelstoke Riding Association meet to choose their candidate in the coming election. MLA Norm Macdonald will be running unopposed, seeking a third term in the BC Legislature. Macdonald was elected as the MLA for Columbia River - Revelstoke on May 17th, 2005, and re-elected on May 12th, 2009. He serves as the Opposition Critic for Forestry and the Chair of the Rural Caucus. The nominating meeting takes place this Sunday in the meeting room at the Kimberley Aquatic Centre from 1:45 to 2:15 p.m. At the present time, the only other person officially running in this riding is BC Liberal Doug Clovechok.
