North Okanagan-Shuswap’s federal representative is ready for the public.
Mel Arnold, who was elected MP in October, will officially open his riding office Jan. 14.
“It feels like it has been a long time coming and my team and I are excited to be able to serve the residents of North Okanagan-Shuswap in a full capacity now that our offices and equipment are in place,” he said.
Since being elected, Arnold has been shuttling between the riding and Ottawa and his staff have worked remotely to assist constituents.
Arnold had hoped to open the Vernon office sooner, but he says there was a need to install a wheelchair ramp and House of Commons communications utilities.
The office is located at 1-3105- 29th St. (former MP Colin Mayes’ office).
The grand opening will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. Jan. 14.
