Lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen)Territory / Victoria, B.C. – The BC Green Party is announcing the candidacies of Erin Cassels for Langford-Highlands and Nicola Spurling for Coquitlam-Maillardville in the upcoming 2024 B.C. election.
Sonia Furstenau, Leader of the BC Greens, expressed her strong support for the new candidates: “Erin and Nicola bring essential and important perspectives and experiences to BC politics. Erin’s leadership in sustainable hospitality, especially her work at the Huntingdon Hotel, highlights her dedication to balancing economic success with environmental responsibility. Nicola’s tireless advocacy for social justice, from founding the Tri-Cities Pride Society to influencing key human rights legislation, shows her commitment to real, impactful change. Their candidacies are about bringing actionable solutions to the critical issues we face, from climate change to social equity. I’m confident Erin and Nicola will be powerful voices in the legislature, driving us towards a brighter, fairer future for all British Columbians.”
Erin Cassels, General Manager of the Huntingdon Hotel and Suites, brings a wealth of experience in sustainable business practices. “Langford-Highlands is not just a riding to me, it is my home, and I deeply care about the future we are all building together,” said Cassels. “We have recently faced unprecedented challenges like devastating forest fires and heat domes. My commitment is to strive for a balance of economic, social, and environmental success to build a resilient, thriving future in our community.”
Nicola Spurling, a dedicated advocate and community leader, has a strong track record in social justice, community support, and holding the government accountable. “British Columbians are facing immense challenges, from skyrocketing housing costs to the growing impacts of climate change,” said Spurling. “I’ve spent years advocating for meaningful change, whether it’s pushing for gender inclusivity in our laws, supporting families in need, or ensuring marginalized communities are heard. As your MLA, I will continue this fight — championing policies that prioritize affordability, environmental responsibility, social justice, and government accountability so that every family can live with dignity, security, and the support they deserve.”
