With a provincial election planned for 2022, Gilles Bisson has been tabbed as the NDP candidate for the election locally.

A veteran of 30 years in the political scene, Bisson is one of three Members of Provincial Parliament from the Sept. 6, 1990 election who are still serving.

“I’m grateful that Timmins has trusted me to represent our community at Queen’s Park, and I’m not done fighting yet," Bisson said in a prepared statement issued Wednesday evening.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath called Bisson "an invaluable veteran member of our NDP team, bringing fantastic experience and energy to the table as we run to become government in 2022."
