One of northern B.C.'s longest-serving and best-known MLAs from northern B.C. is done, collateral damage of B.C. United's decision to withdraw from the election. 

B.C. United's Shirley Bond Thursday (Aug. 29) announced that she won't be running again.

Bond, who represents Prince George-Valemount, said Kevin Falcon's decision to suspend the party's campaign caught her completely by surprise.

"I have spent the past 24 hours with my family thinking about what my next steps should be," she said in a release.
