Another high-profile New Democrat is making a stop in Vernon.

Peter Julian, a Burnaby MP and the federal party’s energy critic, will visit Vernon-based Robot Home Automation Thursday. He will also participate in a round table meeting with business leaders and local candidate Jacqui Gingras.

The federal election campaign was launched Sunday when Parliament was dissolved.

Besides Gingras, the candidates locally are Conservative Mel Arnold, Liberal Cindy Derkaz and Green Chris George.
