Community reacts positively to launch of NWProgressives Coaltion

That didn\’t take very long!

Only a few hours after launching our website and distributing a media release, the emails and phone calls started flowing in to the New Westminster Progressive Electors Coalition inbox and voicemail.

\”It\’s heartwarming,  but I\’m actually not surprised at the reaction,\” says Daniel Fontaine, Chair of the Coalition. \”No matter what part of town you visit, people are talking about how we need more of a balanced approach and a greater diversity  of opinions and viewpoints at city hall. Voters are looking for a positive alternative that will bring new ideas to the table. I think that\’s why they are so excited about the opportunity to support and help strengthen our Coalition.\”

Here are excerpts from just a few of the emails we received and comments made via social media:
