MLA Dan Davies to discuss 2024 BC budget at Fort Nelson town hall

FORT NELSON, B.C. — Peace River North MLA Dan Davies is hosting a community town hall this week in Fort Nelson to discuss the provincial government’s 2024 budget.

The event takes place on March 7th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Woodlands Inn at 3995 50th Avenue. 

Residents are encouraged to attend the meeting to ask questions and discuss their issues and concerns on the budget and other topics with Davies.  

The MLA has been critical of the budget, calling it reckless and offering no hope for British Columbians.

Davies says the budget is the largest deficit in B.C. history.

He says the best solution to the province’s problems would be reducing certain taxes and regulations to let businesses function.

In February, a few BC United shadow ministers joined Davies at a town hall in Fort St. John to discuss drugs and crime.

Jordan Kealy of the Conservative Party of BC hosted a town hall in Fort Nelson on March 2nd, speaking to community members about many topics, including issues with Northern Health, such as service disruptions at the hospital.

Kealy also talked to the community about how local government can assist industry to expand opportunities in the community and the effects of the carbon tax. 

He thanked the community in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“My team and I spoke to many members of the community, from the farmers market, local businesses to the restaurants and hotels we stayed at during this visit,” wrote Kealy.

“We heard and discussed many questions and concerns that are felt throughout the community. I wanted to say that every question and concern is important, I pride myself on speaking up for my region, and Fort Nelson is amongst those.”
