Local members of the Ontario Liberals are getting a head start on the 2022 election.
The Ontario Liberal Party says Manitoulin Health Centre CFO and VP of Corporate Services Tim Vine has been nominated as the candidate for Algoma-Manitoulin, with Ontario Liberal leader Steven Del Duca praising him as "incredibly passionate when it comes to helping his community".
Vine says he's "humbled" to accept the nomination, vowing to put his "experience and passion for service within the community to work" ahead of the election.
The Liberals are the first to officially nominate their candidate for Algoma-Manitoulin, which has been represented by New Democrat Michael Mantha since 2011, when Mantha defeated longtime Liberal MPP Mike Brown.
