Conservative Electors Association Appoints Kerry-Lynne Findlay as Advisory Board Chair and Elaine Allan as Vice-Chair

Former Conservative MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay 

The Conservative Electors Association, British Columbia’s Conservative municipal party, is pleased to announce the appointment of the Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay, P.C. K.C. as Chair of the Advisory Board, and Elaine Allan as Vice-Chair.

Findlay brings extensive experience in public service and leadership. She is a former Chief Opposition Whip, Minister of National Revenue, Associate Minister of National Defence, and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice. She represented South Surrey–White Rock (2019–2025) and Delta–Richmond East (2011–2015) as a Member of Parliament and has also held senior leadership positions within Canada’s legal community.

“Local government is where affordability, safety, and competence are felt most directly,” said Hon. Kerry-Lynne Findlay. “As Advisory Board Chair, my focus will be on strategy, as well as recruiting and mentoring Conservative candidates for mayor and council across British Columbia. Conservative leadership in municipalities means safer streets, lower taxes, and policies that put families first.”

Allan is a Vancouver executive and community leader with a background spanning both the private and non-profit sectors. She previously served as CEO of Skills Canada BC and is the Founder of Inbox Impact, a West Coast Communications Studio supporting non-profits, with a focus on animal rescue organizations. Allan has twice stood as the Conservative candidate in Vancouver Centre, including in the 2025 federal election, where she achieved the strongest Conservative result in the riding since 1988.

“Municipal governments in BC must provide the foundation for attracting investment, supporting local businesses, and creating family-friendly communities—through safer streets, fair taxes, and opportunities for families to build their future,” said Elaine Allan, Advisory Board Vice-Chair.

The Advisory Board of the Conservative Electors Association will provide strategic direction, oversee candidate recruitment, and guide policy development, all grounded in the Association’s commitment to safer streets, lower taxes, and putting families first.

BC’s Forestry Decline Is a Policy Failure, Not a Market Reality -- Forestry Critic Calls for Accountability and Urgent Policy Reset

Conservative Party of BC Forestry Critic, and Kamloops - North Thompson MLA,  Ward Stamer As the Truck Loggers Association convention begins today, BC Conservative Forestry Critic Ward Stamer says British Columbia’s forestry crisis is the result of government mismanagement, not market forces, and that an urgent policy reset is needed to restore certainty, sustainability, and accountability. “For generations, forestry supported families and communities across BC,” said Stamer.  “Today, mills are closing, contractors are parking equipment, and families are being forced to leave home, not because the resource is gone, but because policy has failed.” Government data shows timber shipment values dropped by more than half a billion dollars in the past year, with harvest levels falling by roughly 50 per cent in just four years. At the same time, prolonged permitting timelines, unreliable fibre access, outdated forest inventories, and rising costs have made long-term planning impossib...

BC cannot regulate, redesign, and reinterpret its way to a stable forestry sector. Communities need clear rules, predictable timelines, and accountability for results.

Just hours after the Eby government once again touted reconciliation, certainty, and economic opportunity under DRIPA, Atli Chip Ltd, a company wholly owned by the ’Na̱mg̱is First Nation, announced it is managing the orderly closure of its Beaver Cove chip facility. The closure comes despite public tax dollars, repeated government announcements, and assurances that new policy frameworks would stabilize forestry employment and create long-term opportunity in rural and coastal British Columbia. “British Columbians are being told one story, while communities are living another,” said Ward Stamer, Critic for Forests. “This closure makes it clear that announcement...

Stamer: Hope for Forestry Completely Shattered After Another Provincial Review Driven by DRIPA

IMAGE CREDIT:  Provincial Forestry Advisory Council Conservative Critic for Forests Ward Stamer says the final report from the Provincial Forestry Advisory Council confirms the worst fears of forestry workers and communities; instead of addressing the real issues driving mill closures and job losses, the NDP has produced a report that ignores industry realities and doubles down on governance restructuring. Despite years of warnings from forestry workers, contractors, and industry organizations about permitting delays, regulatory costs, fibre access, and the failure of BC Timber Sales, the PFAC report offers no urgency, no timelines, and no concrete action to stop the ongoing decline of the sector. “ This report completely shatters any remaining hope that the government is serious about saving forestry ,” said Stamer.  “ We didn’t need another study to tell us what industry has been saying for years. While mills close and workers lose their livelihoods, the NDP is focused on re...
