Federal byelections, including South Surrey-White Rock, in December

By

OTTAWA (NEWS 1130) – Voters in four ridings across the country, including South Surrey-White Rock, will head to the polls for byelections on December 11.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the date of the federal byelections for the Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Bonavista-Burin-Trinity, the British Columbia riding of South Surrey-White Rock, Saskatchewan’s Battlefords-Lloydminster and Ontario’s Scarborough-Agincourt on Sunday.

The BC riding became vacant when former Conservative MP Dianne Watts stepped down in September to run for the BC Liberal leadership.

Judy Foote stepped down from her role as Public Services Minister in August and as the MP for Bonavista-Burin-Trinity in September after learning that her two adult daughters were at risk of breast cancer, which she has survived twice.

The Saskatchewan riding is up for grabs after long-serving Conservative MP Gerry Ritz retired from federal politics in August.

The death of Liberal MP Arnold Chan prompted the Toronto-area byelection.
