A Winnipeg School Division trustee who has been in a war of words with Manitoba’s Progressive Conservative government is planning to run for the Opposition New Democrats.
Mark Wasyliw has told the Winnipeg Labour Council he will seek the NDP nomination in the Fort Garry seat in Winnipeg.
Wasyliw says he expects as many as three other trustees from Winnipeg-area school divisions, who were endorsed by the council as trustee candidates, will seek NDP nominations.
