Green Party deputy leader vows to tackle discrimination after completing cancer treatment

Hazel Chu was elected the Green Party's deputy leader in late January.

The new deputy leader of the Green Party says her decision to run just weeks after finishing treatment for cancer was "tough", but came from a desire for a more equal country.

Councillor Hazel Chu was diagnosed with breast cancer last summer and had surgery in September. She completed four weeks of radiation therapy before Christmas and was elected the party's deputy leader in late January.
