NDP supporters gathered their signs and waved to passersby on Harvey Avenue.
The goal was to raise awareness about platform issues leading up to the election, said the president of the NDP Âé¶čAV/Lake Country riding Mike Nuyens.
NDP candidates have not been chosen yet for the Âé¶čAV ridings.
They plan to select officials in the beginning of March.
So far in each riding, there has been one candidate, âwhich isnât bad.â said the president of the Âé¶čAV West riding Karen Abramsen.
Medicare Premiums are an issue the NDP is taking on, as well as making daycare affordable by lowering the cost to $10, said Abramsen.
The BCNDP wants to abolish the premiums and roll it into provincial taxes.
They also want to raise the minimum wage to $15.
âAffordability in the Âé¶čAV area is a huge issue,â said Nuyens.
But, Abramsen said it isnât likely the NDP will win the Âé¶čAV ridings.
âThis is not the socialist hotbed here. Letâs face it. Itâs not that likely, but things could always change,â she said.
The Burma Shave was held, Feb. 18.
The next provincial election is scheduled for May 9.
