Chuck Reid Director of Education www.yourschools.ca 416 Jenny vortooq Chair Oarit ReId sun media In a unanimous vote, Brockton Mayor Charlie Bagnato won the Federal Liberal nomination for the Huron -Bruce riding, which took place at the Lucknow Community Centre, on Oct. 15. With a total of 410 votes cast, the community centre was filled with many people from around the area who came to support their nomi- nee. Dr. Maarten Bokhout from Clinton, a former medi- cal officer of health for Huron County and Deb Homuth of Exeter, a former principal of Goderich District Collegiate, were the other two nominees seeking election to the posi- tion. Former Liberal Huron - Bruce MP Paul Steckle was on hand to give his support to the three nominees and was impressed with the speeches they gave to support their campaigns. "I thought they were ex- cellent speeches. Three dif- ferent people, bringing three different perspectives to what they see for the riding," said Steckle. "I thought the speeches were well given, well delivered and well in - tentioned. I will feel much better once the riding is back to the Liberal party and any one of these nominees is ca- pable of that. Bagnato was the eventual winner of the night and plans to use his six years of experi- ence as the mayor of Brock- ton to be a strong candidate for the Liberal party in the next federal election. Bagnato, in his speech, re- ferred to himself as a lifelong Liberal and aims to improve a variety of issues from ag- riculture, the environment, sustainable energy, Great Lakes improvement and the auto sector. One of the major issues Bagnato would like to resolve in the Huron -Bruce area is job creation and he be- lieves improvement in all of the aforementioned areas will bring jobs to the riding. "The retraining of people, it isn't really happening at the moment. I think we should have satellite Georgian Col- leges, so that people who have lost their jobs in Wingham, Goderich .and all over the area could be getting courses to retrain," said Bagnato. "It would get them ready for the new green economy and I don't see it happening right now and I fear these people will end up in Kitchener, London and Toronto because there isn't enough work in the area. I think that is a key prob- lem right now" Bagnato ran a hard cam- paign and he was happy he landed the nomination and was relieved there isn't an upcoming federal election because he knows he has to build on his campaign and get his message out there. Bagnato was very gracious to his fellow Liberal nomi- .nees because.. he knew how ;hard Bokhout and Homuth worked on their campaigns. He also hopes that the three can get together to help make the Liberal brand stronger in the Huron -Bruce area leading up to the next election. For all three nominees it was a long five weeks of campaigning and for Bagnato who came out with the vic- tory, he was pleased but tired and ready for some relaxation before going back out on the campaign trail. "I think for right now I'm going to go home tonight, take the dogs for a little walk, enjoy a glass of wine with my wife and then get some much needed rest," said Bagnato.
