Brenda Dorosz, who led efforts to keep Osoyoos Secondary School open, says she is considering seeking the nomination as the provincial NDP candidate in the May 2017 general election.

She also said in a statement that she will not be seeking the school trustee position being vacated by long-serving trustee June Harrington when a by-election is held in November.

Dorosz said she has not yet submitted documents to the provincial NDP or been vetted by their candidate screening process.

“Brenda has lots of community involvement over the years and has decided there are more issues to help change,” said her statement. “Education is important and there are many issues in our rural area to be addressed.”

Dorosz recently accompanied NDP Leader John Horgan on part of his visit to Osoyoos.
