Meet Rick McGowan: B.C. Green Party

RICK McGOWAN: B.C. GREENS

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

“I am a husband and father. I am a teacher in New Westminster. I believe individually and collectively, we should work to make our community welcoming and healthy for all.”

WE ASKED

We asked each of the candidates four questions, with a 30-word limit on answers (answers that went over the word limit have been cut and indicated with an asterisk *). Here’s what McGowan said:

FAVOURITE BOOK OR MOVIE?

The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss. The message is simple and pertinent. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
