Vision sends four to head of the class

Vision Vancouver gave the nod to four candidates last weekend to run in the Nov. 15 municipal election for a seat on the school board.

As agreed with COPE, the party will run four of its members for the nine-seat board. COPE is running five candidates.

Incumbent Sharon Gregson led with 2,969 votes, as selected by party membership Sept. 20. Mike Lombardi came in second with 2,177 votes, and Patti Bacchus third with 2,053. Ken Clement beat out 23-year-old Stepan Vdovine by a nose–less than 10 votes–to become the fourth candidate.
