Political leaders from British Columbia's three major parties—New Democratic Party (NDP), Conservative Party, and Green Party—met with business representatives in Vancouver on October 13, 2026, as the provincial election approaches. The meeting took place at the Vancouver Trade Board, where leaders outlined their policy proposals aimed at addressing regional economic concerns.
NDP Leader David Eby, Conservative interim leader Lorne Doerkson, and Green Party Leader Emily Lowan participated in the session. The discussion focused on economic growth, trade policies, and support for local businesses. The event was part of a broader campaign effort to engage with stakeholders ahead of the election, which is scheduled for less than two weeks.
This campaign stop follows a series of public appearances by the leaders, who have been actively promoting their platforms across Metro Vancouver. The meeting with the trade board reflects the increasing emphasis on economic issues in the lead-up to the election. The political landscape remains competitive, with each party vying for voter support through targeted outreach and policy clarity.
