B.C. Greens to make leadership announcement at 11 a.m. PT [Video]

A “significant announcement” is coming about the leadership of the B.C. Green Party today.

That’s according to current Leader Sonia Furstenau, who is holding a news conference on the topic Tuesday at 11 a.m. in Victoria.

Furstenau, 54, has been leader of the B.C. Greens since 2020 and was an MLA from 2017 until 2024, when she failed to get elected in the riding of Victoria-Beacon Hill.

She had previously represented the riding of Cowichan Valley but decided to run in Victoria-Beacon Hill in the last election, saying she wanted to be closer to her adult children. However, she lost to incumbent NDP cabinet minister Grace Lore by 3,688 votes  — a margin of 13.7 per cent.
