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.

“4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block being salvaged?” ~~ Ward Stamer, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA

Today, BC NDP forest Minister Ravi Parmar made this pronouncement; ‘Removing red tape has sped up permitting, allowing for more wood to be salvaged, quicker’. 4.5 million hectares of forest lands have burned since 2023, and the best they can do is point to a 90-hectare block?    ~~ BC Conservative Forests Critic Ward Stamer While acknowledging the NDP government has recognized improvements were needed in permitting and accessing burnt fibre in a timely fashion, the reality is, they are barely making a dent in the problem.  This government's recognition that only seven percent of pulp mill fibre came from burnt timber in 2024-25, quite simply put, is a failure. And the recent announcement, just three weeks ago, that the Crofton Pulp Mill would be permanently closing, is proof of that.     Instead of Premier David Eby’s government addressing core issues being faced by British Columbia’s forest industry, they are doing little more than manipulating the facts, ...

A message from BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer, and the Kamloops – North Thompson Riding Association

2025 was a busy first year. As a Caucus, we worked very hard to defeat Bills 14 and 15, legislation which allows the provincial government to move ahead without environmental assessments on renewable projects, and that also allows cabinet to build infrastructure projects without getting approval from local municipal governments. This is not acceptable to your BC Conservative caucus, and we will continue to press this government for open and transparent projects in the future.  Two things we had success in were having the first Private Members bill passed in over 40 years. The first was Jody Toors Prenatal and Post Natal Care bill, and then there was my private members Bill M217 Mandatory Dashcams in commercial vehicles (passed second reading unanimously and is heading to Committee in February). Regrettably, much of the legislation passed by the government was little more than housekeeping bills, or opportunities to strengthen the ability of Cabinet Ministers to bypass the BC legi...

Wildfire waste plan torched -- Forestry critic Stamer calls BC's wildfire salvage rate 'a failure'

Claims that BC is making progress salvaging wildfire-damaged timber are masking deeper problems in the forest sector, the province’s forestry critic says. Last week, BC’s Ministry of Forests said mills in the province processed more than one million cubic metres of wildfire chips in 2024-25, up from 500,000 cubic metres in 2023 and representing about seven per cent of all processed wood. Kamloops-North Thompson BC Conservative MLA Ward Stamer said those claims of progress ignore the reality that only a fraction of burned timber is being used ... CLICK HERE for the full story
