Forms, training focus of recall campaign

THE GROUP that wanls to throw Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht out of office is adding the nuts and bolts to its campaign.

After weeks of waiting, the Crash Helmut group has received all of the official paper- work it needs from the provincial chief electoral officer.

And it’s gathering together this weekend a group of volunteer petition gatherers for a training seminar. ,

‘We're getting ready to file our peti- tion,’’ said campaign chairman Lome Sex- ton of the ‘approaching first date when the campaign can take the first recall step.

That first step can take anytime after Nov. 28 and is the filing to the chief electoral of- ficer of a 200-word petition stating why the group wants to recall Giesbrecht.

Once the petition has been checked and retumed, recall campaigners then have 60 days to collect the signatures of 40 per ccat of those people on the voters list in the last provincial election.

In Skeena, that 40 per cent works out to

Giesbrecht

approximately 7,600 people.

If the campaign is successful, Giesbrecht is removed from office and a by-election is then held. There’s nothing to prevent Gies- brecht from running again.

Sexton anticipates a small army of more than 300 people will fan out over the riding to collect signatures.

He said that people from Smithers and Prince Rupert have said they want to help collect names here,

The Crash Helmut campaign will also go over the poll by poll results from the last provincial election to gauge where its first efforts should go.

“We'll be looking for polls that voted against Helmut — they'll be 1 good place to start,’” said Sexion.

This weekend's training seminar will be conducted by Bruce Hallsor, a former Ter- race resident who is now a lawyer in Vic- toria.

He’s regarded as one of the leading ex- perts on recall in B.C,
