In a news release, the NDP said for the last 32 years, Dhir has been an integral part of the south Vancouver and Marpole communities.

VANCOUVER — With the fall election date already scheduled, the BC NDP has been busy nominating candidates with the latest being SUCCESS Non-Profit veteran Sunita Dhir, who was nominated Saturday in the former BC Liberal stronghold of Vancouver-Langara riding, which should be up for grabs by all three major political parties including the fast rising Conservative Party of BC led by John Rustad and Kevin-Falcon led failing BC United Party.

In a news release, the NDP said for the last 32 years, Dhir has been an integral part of the south Vancouver and Marpole communities. With nearly two decades of service at SUCCESS, a non-profit organization that supports newcomers on their settlement journey, Sunita has helped hundreds of people learn English and connect to their new communities here in BC. She strongly supports workers' rights in British Columbia and champions fair and equitable treatment for all. 

"People in our community work hard to build a future for themselves and their families, but for too long Conservative politicians like John Rustad and Kevin Falcon made choices that worked only for people at the top, leaving everyone else behind," said Dhir. "David Eby's BC NDP team is taking a different approach. We're building an economy that works for everyone, not just powerful interests, so we can all build a life here."

"Sunita has deep roots in Vancouver-Langara and has helped thousands of newcomers build a good life here for their families," said Premier David Eby. "She's in it to make things better for people, and she will work hard everyday to deliver affordable housing and high quality education, healthcare, and services for you."

Dhir will join by and 91 other BC NDP candidates in this fall's provincial election.
