Tuesday July 14, 2026 | NORTH VANCOUVER, BC by Mary P Brooke | Island Social Trends Tomorrow the Green Party of Canada will announce its candidate for the federal by-election in North Vancouver—Capilano, becoming the first federal party to name a candidate in the urban coastal riding. Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, BC Green MLA Jeremy Valeriote, and former North Vancouver—Capilano Green Party candidate Andrew Robinson will formally endorse the candidate at the July 15 event. They will be joined by local Green supporters.

The riding’s voter base includes part of North Vancouver and part of West Vancouver. A by-election is coming up in the riding as long-time Liberal MP Jonathan Wilkinson departs for an Ambassador role to represent Canada to the European Union. Wilkinson had a strong ministerial file on energy and environment; the Greens possibly think there could be cross-over voters from Liberal to Green based on that issue.

There are several other by-elections coming up across Canada in the months ahead, including two in Montreal where the NDP feels they have a shot. There is a slim Liberal majority in the House of Commons. There is only one Green in the House of Commons at this time (that being Elizabeth May who is MP for Saanich-Gulf Islands).
