The race for the federal elections in the Kelowna Lake Country riding has officially begun, with the first group of candidates announcing their intention to compete for the parliamentary seat in one of the most closely watched ridings in British Columbia.

Candidate “Timberley Howarth” from the Green Party announced her candidacy to represent the party in the upcoming elections, affirming her commitment to environmental issues, housing, and promoting sustainable policies, while the Conservative Party seeks to retain the seat currently held by incumbent Tracy Gray, who has confirmed her intention not to run again, opening the door for new faces.

The Liberal Party has put forward candidate “Tim Crosbie,” a university professor and environmental activist, who emphasized the importance of addressing the climate crisis, achieving social justice, and supporting local communities.

The Kelowna Lake Country riding is expected to witness fierce competition, given its conservative political history on one hand and the growing voices in favor of change on the other, placing it at the forefront of interest for those following the Canadian electoral scene.

Moreover, Elections Canada has announced the official start of the campaigns, awaiting the announcement of the expected voting date in the coming months.
