Ben Stewart is running for the Liberals, Shelley Cook is the NDP candidate, Robert Stupka is representing the Green Party and Kyle Geronazzo is the BC Libertarian Party candidate.

There are six days of advance voting from February 6-11th.

Stewart had represented the riding for the Liberals for one term until he stepped aside in 2013 to allow Clark to run after she lost her seat in Vancouver-Point Grey to the NDP’s David Eby.
