Cowichan Valley NDP MLA Bill Routley is recovering after heart surgery, his party has announced.

Routley underwent surgery in Victoria last week to treat an unspecified heart condition, the NDP said Wednesday in a statement. He is expected to make a full recovery by the middle of March.

Routley, a former union president, forest worker and business owner, was elected in 2009.
