CORNWALL, Ontario – Liberal candidate Bernadette Clement is taking to the counties to kick off her federal election campaign.
The veteran Cornwall city councillor said this week her run for MP will begin in Morrisburg at Russell Manor on Sept. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m.
Refreshments and snacks will be served.
Clement and her team are also heading to North Stormont for a special meet and greet at the home of one of her supporters, scheduled for Sept. 12.
“We are very excited to be launching our campaign at the historic and beautifully restored 1870s Russell Manor,” said Clement. “It gives us the opportunity to meet our Dundas County and area supporters and to connect to our party’s history.”
It was in Morrisburg on October 8, 1895, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier first proposed his “sunny ways” approach to politics, an approach now adopted by Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, said Clement.
“This is the perfect way for us to start our campaign. We’ve already seen a great reception of our message all across the counties,” she added.
