Green Party announces West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country federal candidate

The Green Party has announced Dana Taylor as the party’s candidate for West Vancouver – Sunshine Coast – Sea to Sky Country in the 2019 fall federal election.

“The Green Party’s time has come”, Taylor said at the party’s Electoral District Association (EDA) meeting on June 19th in Squamish where his candidacy was confirmed.

“The world is waking up to the need for society at all levels – with governments at the lead – to take ambitious action to halt the devastating effects of climate change. Of all the national parties, only the Green Party has a concrete,  thoroughly-costed and achievable plan of action for leading the country through the transition to a carbon-neutral economy in the short time left before the decay of the world’s climate becomes irreversible.” says Taylor in a release.

Taylor was the Green Party of BC’s candidate for the riding in the 2017 provincial election, in which he placed  second.  According to a news release Taylor retired this month to focus his energy on this fall’s election, but previously served for almost 30 years as the Executive Vice President of the Mechanical Contractors Association of BC.

The Green’s candidate plans to launch his campaign with a “Listening Tour”, reaching out into the community to hear what residents believe are the issues of greatest concern to them and what the priorities for the riding should
be.

Taylor has three grown sons. He and his wife live in West Vancouver.
