Educator and community advocate Laurie MacIntosh will be the Progressive Conservative candidate in Sydney-Whitney Pier in the upcoming provincial election. She won the nomination on Sunday.

MacIntosh has deep family ties to Sydney-Whitney Pier and is excited to represent the area. An educator with over 30 years of working with students and teachers says the mess Stephen McNeil made to public education is a major motivation for her to enter public life.
