The Green Party selected their federal candidate for Courtenay Alberni.
Sean Wood is a graphic designer and former volunteer firefighter in Parksville, and worked for the last Green Candidate.
He says the rise in Green Party popularity has led other parties to adopt many of the Green Party’s policies and call them their own.
Wood says he wants to fight for better tax-breaks for volunteer firefighters and affordable housing initiatives.
Wood will be up against NDP incumbent Gord Johns, Conservative Byron Horner, and the Liberals are still to announce their candidate for the Ocober 20th Federal election.
