Voters go to polls for byelection in B.C. riding of Surrey South

Sep 10, 2022 | 1:02 AM

SURREY, B.C. — Voters in the British Columbia riding of Surrey South go to the polls today to replace a longtime Liberal Party member of the legislature.

Stephanie Cadieux, a former Liberal government cabinet minister, resigned the seat in April when she took on the job of Canada’s first chief accessibility officer. 

New Democrat candidate Pauline Greaves, a teacher at Langara school of management, ran against Cadieux in the 2020 election and lost by just under 1,200 votes. 

Elenore Sturko, a sergeant and media spokesperson on leave from the RCMP, represents the B.C. Liberal Party in the riding. 

Simran Sarai, a student at SFU, is running for the B.C. Green Party, Harman Bhangu, who owns a trucking firm, is taking on the challenge for the Conservative Party of B.C., while Jason Bax will represent the Libertarians in the byelection.
