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.

The Yukon NDP campaign’s Porter Creek effort took on more momentum today as former Whitehorse Elementary School principal and disability rights advocate Pat Berrel was nominated to represent the party as its candidate in Porter Creek Centre. Berrel’s nomination meeting took place at Porter Creek Secondary School, which served as the backdrop for the longtime educator’s campaign launch earlier this year.
