The UBCM convention calls it a wrap today, Stockwell Day offers up some thoughts from the federal government in the early sessions for today while Premier Campbell takes to the speakers podium to bring the event to a close shortly before the noon hour.
The four and a half day political meet and greet hasn't gained much in the way of newsworthy mention since Monday, flying rather low on the radar considering the amount of usually talkative politicians gathered in one location.
There have been a few mentions in the major papers of Vancouver and Victoria, which focused mainly on the major names of the convention's agenda.
