Moore, Sloboda enter growing UCP race in Innisfail-Sylvan Lake

Mar 7, 2018 | 9:29 AM

The list of candidates seeking to replace Don MacIntyre continues to grow.

Two more people this week have entered the UCP nomination race for the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake Constituency – Christine Moore and Victor Sloboda.

Moore is the Division 6 Councillor for Red Deer County. She is a former Board Chair for Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools, former Co-Chairman of Child and Family Services Authority for Central Alberta, and is Co-chair for the annual Sheraton Celebrity Dance Off charity event.

“In the wake of our MLA resigning unexpectedly, after a decade of division, I believe that it is time for our community to move forward.  This community needs a representative with a proven track record of balancing budgets, standing up for their community, and someone with the experience to deliver on their promises,” Moore said in a release.

Moore was the Progressive Conservative candidate for Red Deer – North in the 2016 provincial election, losing to Kim Schreiner of the NDP.

Moore and Sloboda join Joan Barnes, Devin Dreeshen, Gayle Langford and Mike Walsh in the race to replace MacIntyre, who resigned last month.

A by-election for the Innisfail-Sylvan Lake constituency has yet to be announced, but must take place prior to August 5.
