For Lower Mainland media, she will also hold an availability session Thursday at 10:15 am at the Maritime Labour Centre, 1880 Triumph St., Vancouver.

Thursday afternoon, Lanzinger will join a team of volunteers at two events to petition for support for the Federation’s Fight for $15 campaign for a higher minimum wage that will lift 500,000 BC workers out of poverty.

The first event takes place at the Metrotown Skytrain station from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm.

The second is at the Surrey Central Skytrain station from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
