Conservative supporters in Perth-Wellington will pick their candidate for the next federal election on November 8.

Stratford resident Ken Steven worked on some of MP Gary Schellenberger’s campaigns and is now trying for the nomination himself.

Steven says the Perth-Wellington riding continues to evolve with industry, tourism and agriculture.

“There probably isn’t a more progressive area in the world when it comes to adapting to better agricultural practices,” says Steven. “Always trying to think about what we do next to add value to these products.”

West Perth councillor John Nater is also in the race.

The meeting for the Conservative federal nomination in Perth-Wellington will be November 8 at Listowel District Secondary School.  Registration will start at 12:00pm and the meeting will begin at 1:00pm.
