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

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.
