B.C. Green leader Sonia Furstenau announced today that the party has nominated former Nelson city councillor Nicole Charlwood as its candidate for Nelson-Creston in the next provincial election.

"It is my pleasure to share that the B.C. Green Party has nominated Nicole Charlwood as our candidate for Nelson-Creston," Furstenau announced.

"Nicole is a former Nelson city councillor and an extraordinary community advocate. She has so much to offer this riding as a B.C. Green MLA and I look forward to working with her in the legislature after the next election."

"Politics in B.C. has been polarized for far too long," Charlwood said.

"The success of my campaign in the 2020 snap provincial election convinced me that this riding is ready for a more well-rounded and collaborative representative who can act independently from special interests. My campaign team has grown since then and we are ready to make history in Nelson-Creston!"

Furstenau will join Charlwood this Saturday evening in Nelson for a community event to celebrate Charlwood’s nomination as the candidate for Nelson-Creston.
