Guess who Bear Mountain Resort staff will be supporting in Juan de Fuca during the upcoming provincial election campaign? The answer: Liberal candidate and outgoing Colwood mayor Jody Twa if the owners of that resort have anything to say about it. In an email, Amanda Robb, the executive assistant to resort president and chief executive officer Len Barrie, invites the "Bear Mountain Team" to "Jody Twa's 1st official Juan de Fuca BC Liberal campaign event" at 899 Goldstream Avenue. "Your support on September 4th would be greatly appreciated and we hope to see as many of you there as possible," she continues. Earlier, Public Eye exclusively reported Mr. Barrie had a $10,000 per plate fundraiser for the Liberals at his residence. At the time, Mr. Twa - who attended that fundraiser - declined to speak about reports he would be running for the party. The following is a complete copy of the aforementioned email.
