socreds gear up for
election fight in new fields;
as constituency split looms

by Glenn Werkman
The Review

Local Socred constituency asso-
ciation president Mark Dickinson
doesn’t expect an election to be
called by Premier Bill Vander
Zalm during an announced Jan. 17
address to the province.

But two new constituency asso-
ciations will be formed in mid-
February in preparation for the
next general election.

“Tm not prepared to make a
comment on the party leadership,
Dickinson said. “The premier is
obviously considering the whole
situation.

“Who knows what will happen
on Jan. 17. I don’t anticipate an
election being called.”

The Saanich and The Islands
Socred constituency association
president is stepping down from
his post effective March 1, when
the Socreds plan to have new

“constituency associations in place
in the new Saanich North and The
Islands and Saanich South consti-
tuencies.

Founding meetings for the new
associations will be held Feb. 16
for Saanich North and Feb. 22 for
Saanich South. Locations have yet
to be determined.

As a regional director represent-
ing south Island Socreds (Region
1), Dickinson will be at a provin-
cial Socred meeting Jan. 18-20 in
Vancouver to discuss the direction
of the party.

“Region 1 will go from five
constituencies to eight,’ Dickin-
son said. “There’s a lot of reorgan-
ization and restructuring to be
done and we're on schedule to get
it done.”

The redrawn constituency
boundaries won’t go into effect
until a writ is dropped calling the
next general election and nomina-
tion meetings won’t be held until
then.

An executive for each of the new
constituency associations will be
elected at the mectings in mid-
February.

“Any kind of activity like this,
when you get action going on,
always generates interest and is
always good for the party,” Dick-
inson said.

“I believe it will attract new
people into management positions
in the party,” he said.

Possible candidates for the posi-
tion of constituency association
president are Mickey De Bruin for
Saanich North and Joanne Willi-
ams for Saanich South.

Williams is currently vice-
president of the association and is
the wife of Saanich Ald. Ray
Williams.

Dickinson has been onthe
Socred’s Saanich and The Islands
constituency association executive
since 1983 and will finish his
fourth term as president.

The association currently has
one of the largest executives in the
province at 29 members and has a
membership of about 2,000, he
said.
