VANCOUVER – New Democrat leader Adrian Dix issued the following statement on Jane Sterk’s retirement from politics today:

“I want to offer my sincere appreciation to Jane Sterk for her contribution as leader of the Green Party since 2007. Our politics is healthier when more British Columbians see their voice reflected in our public debate. Jane’s contribution attracted many who might otherwise have forsaken party politics. I wish Jane and her husband John the very best in the future.”
