Tracy Calogheros has once again been nominated as the official Federal Liberal candidate in the Cariboo-Prince George riding.
Calogheros ran representing the Liberal Party of Canada in the 2015 election, where she garnered a second-place showing greatly increasing the liberal's share of the vote.
“I am honoured to have once again earned the trust of local Liberals to represent our community on Parliament Hill, and to work with Justin Trudeau to create new jobs that strengthen our local economy,” said Calogheros in a release. “I once again look forward to working hard throughout the campaign to earn the support of people throughout Cariboo-Prince George, one conversation at a time.”
Calogheros is also the CEO of the Exploration Place Museum and Science Centre in Prince George, a position she has held since 2003.
She also currently serves as the President of the Canadian Association of Science Centres and is a Director at Large for the Fraser Basin Council.
Some of her past roles also include President and Interim CEO of the Northern British Columbia Tourism Association, Tourism Chair for the Spirit of B.C. Community Committee as well as having served as a Western Representative on the National Selection Committee - Broadband for Rural and Northern Development.
Calogheros was honoured with the Association of Science and Technology Centres’ Roy L. Schafer Leading Edge award for Experienced Leadership in the Field in 2016, and in 2017 received the Exploration Museum Governor General’s History Award in the Excellence in Community Programming category alongside the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation.
She is also married with three adult children, and says she is fiercely passionate about her community, and looks forward to bringing the northern, rural voice into the national political arena.
