The United Conservative Party of Alberta leadership race is in full swing.
The public is invited to a meet and greet with leadership candidate Danielle Smith on the following dates: Tuesday, July 12 in Cochrane at 'Ducks on the Roof' Bar & Grill from 7 to 9 p.m., and Monday, July 11 in Airdrie at Apple Creek Golf Course from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Smith served as leader of the Wildrose Party from October 2009 to December 2014, when she resigned to cross the floor and join the governing Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta's caucus. She was the MLA for Highwood until 2015, when she lost the PC nomination for the riding.
In the years following, she produced a talk radio show in Alberta that focused on political and current events.
Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie will also be in attendance at both events. Admission is free.
