Danielle Adams Seeks to be NDP Candidate for Thompson

Danielle Adams is seeking to be the NDP candidate in the Thompson constituency to bring strong representation to the North.

 

Adams said the Thompson constituency has a tradition of strong NDP representation. “With Steve Ashton as our MLA we had a strong NDP MLA who delivered for the North. We have lost that under the PC’s”.

 

Adams said the North needs an NDP MLA “who will keep in touch and represent all of our communities. Churchill, Gillam, Fox Lake, Ilford, War Lake, Pikwitonei, Thicket Portage, Wabowden, York Landing, Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, Nelson House Community and Thompson all have unique concerns.”

 

“I am proud to have visited and connected with communities throughout our constituency. I am proud of the support I have received throughout the constituency.”

 

Adams has been active in the NDP serving on both the federal and provincial executives for more than a decade. She has been active in the community on the YWCA, Thompson Children’s World and Ski Club Boards. She has been the Constituency Assistant to Niki Ashton since 2009.

 

Adams stressed the need for a positive vision for the North. “We need investments in our communities, not cuts and privatization.”

 

Adams said that if nominated she will fight for: Real investments in economic development; Investments in infrastructure including upgrading existing roads and expanding road access; Provincial support for the Bay line and the Port of Churchill; Community based health care; Investments in education and support for our community based governance and teachers; Support for child care; Provincial funding for recreation including a new pool for Thompson. ´

 

´If elected my commitment is to keep in touch in between elections and to put the North first.”

 

The nomination is scheduled for this Saturday in Thompson.
