It looks like there’s a new candidate coming out of the gate for the next provincial election. Alan McLauchlan recently announced that he is running as the PC Candidate for The Pas-Kameesak riding. McLauchlan is no stranger to politics and has a few different reasons for running in the provincial election.
“I have a couple of reasons for entering the provincial political ring,” said McLauchlan. “My first reason, is pretty much the reason why do a lot of different things, is to give back to the community. When I came here to The Pas 47 years ago, I knew no one. I came here when I was 18 years old. The north really embraced me, allowed me to learn and taught me. I want to give back to the riding in that way. I feel I have a lot of skills and abilities that I can give back to the area on this level.
