Former Abbotsford Times journalist Kevin Gillies has been selected as the Liberal Party of Canada's candidate for the Abbotsford-South Langley riding.
The party made the announcement in a press release on Monday (March 31) morning.
Gillies has lived in the Fraser Valley since 1995 and has worked in a variety of fields: as a real estate agent, supporting homeless individuals in shelters and supported housing, supporting people with a variety of special needs, and as a journalist for different newspapers – Abbotsford/Mission, North Vancouver, White Rock and also as the Fraser Valley stringer for the Vancouver Sun.
“Abbotsford-South Langley will be on the front lines of U.S. tariffs and Donald Trump’s trade war,” Gillies stated. “Mark Carney is the best leader for Canada going forward, and I look forward to bringing this region’s concerns to him and Ottawa.”
