Provincial NDP leader Adrian Dix and Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall led a rally outside the Nelson post office this week, encouraging residents to vote to rescind the harmonized sales tax in the mail-in referendum.
It was Dix’s 26th stop on his tour of the province, while Mungall has held similar events in six other local communities.
“The response is very positive, whether it’s downtown Quesnel or downtown Nelson, particularly from small business people who know the impact of the HST on their customers,” Dix said.
The deadline to return ballots is August 5.
