Brant New Democrats will nominate a candidate for next federal election at a meeting Thursday at 7:30 p. m. at the Brantford and District Labour Centre.
The only declared candidate is Marc Laferriere, a 28-year-old clinical social worker with Woodview Children's Mental Health and Autism Services.
He has collected endorsements from previous candidate Brian Van Tilborg, Don Guest, first vice-president of the Brantford District Labour Council.
Laferriere said he understands the dynamics of a successful campaign after having worked on two.
In 2008, he worked on the campaigns of New Democrats Bruce Hyer, now MP for Thunder Bay-Superior North, and John Rafferty, MP for Thunder Bay-Rainy River.
"I saw from start to finish how they were organized and carried off," said Laferriere. "We will be using a lot of what was learned there."
The Brant campaign has one early tactic ready to go. The team will kick off a "Recycling Phil McColeman" initiative, in which people will be invited to bring all their copies of mailouts and flyers to the nomination meeting and other events. Party workers will collect and recycle them.

I like the Recycle McColeman bit. It drives me nuts when I get those stupid flyers in the mail and I know that he is spending tax dollars to print and mail his continuous self promotion to me. He is a useless blight on the political scene.
Hi Dave
With two days notice, we had a FULL RECYCLE BOX of FLYERS.
Oh & Nice picture.
Drop by and see us sometime ;)
