On election night Tuesday, the two main party candidates in Boundary-Similkameen will be holding events with their supporters as results come in.

B.C. Liberal candidate Linda Larson will be at the Silver Sage winery south of Oliver and NDP candidate Colleen Ross will be at Medici’s Gelateria in Oliver.

But for independent candidate Dr. Peter Entwistle, it’s business as usual – he’ll be working in emergency at South Okanagan General Hospital.

Entwistle said he was asked to step in and cover for another doctor.

“Everyone else will be celebrating the victory and I will be working,” said Entwistle, who insists he expects to win.

B.C. Green candidate Vonnie Lavers has no central gathering point in Boundary-Similkameen on election night, said her campaign manager Dave Cursons.

Lavers lives in Kelowna.
