Got a beef, idea or suggestion for MP Richard Cannings? Then hop on a bicycle and join him for part of his “Ride the Riding” tour next week.
Friday marks the fourth year in a row that the South Okanagan-West Kootenay MP will tour the region to find out what is on the minds of his constituents.
The tour will use a combination of rail trails and highways, starting in Nakusp on Aug. 23 and finishing in Kaleden on Aug. 29. He said routes like the Kettle Valley Rail Trail are an important tourist attraction for the region and play a key economic driver for many small communities.
“These trails are important to our region allowing people easy access to the back country. I regularly ride them, enjoying meeting the people and the scenery along the route.”
Cannings invites folks to join him on part of the ride or to meet him during breaks.
“This is their chance to express their concerns and interests to me.”
He has scheduled numerous coffee and meal breaks at various points where the public can meet him.
