The Yukon NDP continued to gain momentum by nominating longtime Whitehorse resident André Bourcier as their candidate in Copperbelt North at a members' meeting last night. Bourcier is the Director of the Yukon Native Language Centre at Yukon Colleges Ayamdigut Campus in Whitehorse and the former chair of the Commission scolaire francophone du Yukon.

Standing in front of École Émilie-Tremblay, André Bourcier threw his hat in the ring today to represent the Yukon NDP in Copperbelt North during the next territorial election. Bourcier, Director of the Yukon Native Language Centre and longtime Whitehorse resident, says that Yukoners have told him that they're tired after 14 years of Yukon Party mismanagement and that they are looking for an alternative.
