Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound MPP Rick Byers is announcing that he will not be a candidate in the next election.
A release from his office says, “MPP Byers is making this announcement now to allow time for the local riding association and the Ontario PC Party to nominate a candidate to represent Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound.”
Byers says in a statement, “It has been and continues to be a great honour to represent Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and to work with Premier Doug Ford and the PC caucus to build a better Ontario. I will continue to work hard on the priorities of our local communities right up until the next election.”
Byers office says the Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound Progressive Conservative Association will strike a candidate search committee to start the process of nominating the next PC candidate for the riding.
More to come.
