My first experience in politics wasn’t running for office, it was holding people in office accountable.
My first experience in politics wasn’t running for office, it was holding people in office accountable. From my experience fighting to protect Shawnigan’s drinking water, I saw firsthand that there is a disconnect between provincial and federal government decision-making and how those decisions affect communities. I hear a common thread from people across the province. Despite the promises made by other parties, people aren’t feeling the impact in their day to day lives. We need leadership that focuses on the hard evidence of how its policies are actually affecting people.
Sonia is proud of the impact the B.C. Greens have had and believes we’re just getting started. We are building an inclusive province-wide movement and there are lots of ways to get involved. Join Sonia to help build the next generation of the B.C. Green Party!
B.C. is an incredible place, full of people with exciting ideas and a deep love for the place they call home.
I know we are just scratching the surface of our potential, but that outdated ways of thinking and partisan divisiveness are preventing us from reaching it. And where other parties see opportunities to differentiate themselves and gain power by dividing British Columbians, I am determined to find solutions by focusing on the things that unite us.
Sonia is a proven leader.
She understands how to bring people together and get things done. She has accomplished a lot as an elected official and community organizer, and she’s just getting started.

"As a partner in a family owned well drilling business, a small scale organic farmer and a concerned grandfather, I appreciate that Sonia understands the role small business plays in creating resilient communities that are able to adapt to changing conditions in the economy and environment. Supporting small business keeps jobs and profits close to home, creating opportunities to invest in local products, services and networks that are more sustainable."

“I myself am non-partisan. As a political scientist, I was told in year one that politics is dirty by nature. However, in my observation, there is a new kind of politician emerging today - politicians who are proving that politics and integrity can co-exist. It is my observation that Sonia Furstenau is one such emerging leader, and it is for this reason that I wholeheartedly endorse her drive for Leader of the B.C. Green Party. Klecko Klecko (deep sense of gratitude)!”
