Policy Convention: Calgary Southeast

Calgary Southeast: Kenney who represents the riding of Calgary Southeast said he spoke to Conservative Party president John Walsh on Saturday, who is "hoping it'll happen in the autumn.", according to CBC. The Conservative Party national policy convention which was scheduled to get underway in Calgary next Thursday was postponed on Saturday, as city officials warned Calgarians to stay away from the downtown core now engulfed by flood waters and Conservatives are hoping to reschedule their national policy convention for the fall at the earliest, Immigration Minister Jason Kenney told News on Sunday. "That may be a challenge because Calgary is a busy city for conferences and we are actually typically running close to full occupancy in our hotels here but we'll find a date. We really want to do it this year, hopefully in the autumn as soon as possible," Kenney said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
