Coalhurst teacher will seek UCP nomination in new Cardston-Siksika riding
COALHURST – One of the new ridings created back in the fall has a new contender, as lifelong Southern Alberta resident and long-time educator in Coalhurst Marc Slingerland, has announced his entry into the UCP nomination race for the Cardston-Siksika riding.
Slingerland is challenging MLA Dave Schneider for the UCP nomination in the rural district that largely covers the areas included in the former Cardston-Taber-Warner and Little Bow districts.
Slingerland has been working at Calvin Christian School near Coalhurst for the past 13 years, and he’s been the principal there since 2011.
He launched his campaign before a large crowd at the Picture Butte Community Centre on Friday, April 13.
