B.C. opposition leader Adrian Dix will be speaking to NDP supporters in the Tri-Cities this weekend as part of his campaign against the HST.
The NDP leader is an outspoken opponent of the tax and said families will end up paying hundreds and even thousands of dollars more per year under the new sales tax regime. He added that a yes vote to extinguish the HST would benefit families and small businesses.
Dix won his party's leadership nomination in April and this will be his first visit to the Tri-Cities as party leader. Also on hand will be Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Diane Thorne.
The event takes place at 3 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion Coquitlam Branch (1025 Ridgeway Avenue). It is sponsored by the Coquitlam-Maillardville constituency association and anyone is welcome to attend.
