Green Party officials in B.C. released details of leader Elizabeth May's schedule for a visit to the province this weekend.

On Friday morning May will appear on CKNW radio before joining Vancouver Centre candidate Adriane Carr to highlight issues around poverty and homelessness. She'll then spend the afternoon in the Okanagan with candidates Huguette Allen and Angela Reid before returning to help open MP Blair Wilson's campaign office in the evening.

On Saturday May will fly to Port Alberni to appear at an afternoon rally with one-time labour leader and retired University of Victoria professor John Fryer. Then she'll spend Sunday back in Vancouver campaigning with Carr, Wilson and other candidates before boarding a train to make the first whistle-stop campaign by a federal politician since the days of John Diefenbaker.

The tour gives an indication of which B.C. ridings the Greens think they may have a chance to win, as well as which candidates they want to bring to national media attention. Note they have a real MP. And a former union leader.
