Prince George-Valemount Conservative MLA Rosalyn Bird’s office is not yet open to the general public, but she and her staff are available to help constituents.
Speaking to reporters before a media conference with Conservative Leader John Rustad on Monday, July 7, Bird said that though she had held an open house event the previous weekend, construction issues have meant that her office at 1350 Fifth Ave. is not yet able to take walk-in visitors.
That address is the same as Bird’s predecessor from the same constituency, retired MLA Shirley Bond.
In the meantime, Bird said her office is available by phone at 778-744-8598 and by email at [email protected]. Once contact is made, Bird said her staff will see what next steps need to be taken and whether an appointment should be set up.
While there is another phone number still printed on the office door, Bird said it is an old number that isn’t directed to her or her staff. Anyone who tried calling that number should try calling the number listed above.
“The other thing we have, which is going to be launched in the next couple of days, we have put together a website that is fairly robust,” Bird said. “It has an extensive resources page, so that when people contact my staff or myself, we can direct them to their first point of contact before it comes to the MLA getting engaged.”
She said a lot of times, constituents reach out to her office for help because they don’t know where to turn to. They’re happy to send people in the right direction and follow up if they don’t get the results they’re looking for.
