VANCOUVER – British Columbia’s election campaign enters its second week, with the major parties announcing policies and more candidate nominations.
The incumbent New Democrats say Leader David Eby will speak about job creation in Prince Rupert, B.C., at the Port of Prince Rupert’s DP World container terminal.
Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson is in Vancouver to make another policy announcement after pledging over the weekend that his party would “never raise taxes” if elected Oct. 24.
Doerkson also said on Sunday that the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity program in B.C.’s public schools, also known as SOGI, would be repealed under a Conservative government.
B.C. Green Leader Emily Lowan is holding an event on Vancouver Island about child care and will unveil her party’s candidate for the Victoria-Swan Lake riding.
The NDP has announced that former Richmond-Queensborough legislator and B.C. NDP president Aman Singh will run in the riding of Vancouver-Fraserview.
Former cabinet minister George Chow previously held the seat, while Singh lost to Conservative Steve Kooner in Richmond-Queensborough in the 2024 election.
