Nomination Meeting Set

It's expected to be a formality for John Rafferty.

But the Thunder Bay-Rainy River NDP Riding Association has announced it will hold a series of nomination meetings across the riding later this month to select its candidate for the next federal election.

They include meetings in Atikokan on September 22nd and at the East End Community Hall in Fort Frances the next night.

Rafferty, the current M-P, has already declared his intention to run again and is not expected to face any opposition.
