Who We Are

We are a volunteer-run organization active at election times.

Conservation Voters of BC works on making BC politicians accountable to the strong environmental values of the BC public. We do this by tracking the environmental performance of BC's elected officials, by working on the passage of a progressive policy agenda for BC, and by supporting the candidacy of environmentally minded candidates for office.

We are non-partisan in that we believe environmentally minded candidates can do good work within all of BC’s major parties.

If you believe the actions of BC's elected officials should reflect the strong environmental values of British Columbians, join other Conservation Voters supporters working to make this a reality. By law we cannot take money from charitable foundations, so we rely heavily on the donations of time and money from people like you. Drop us a line to get involved.

The Conservation Voters of BC is a registered non-profit society, but not a charity.

Board
The organization is governed by a Board that draws on people active on environmental issues in BC. They are:

  • Will Horter (Chair)
  • Naomi Devine

Advisory Committee
There is a committee to provide the Board information on experience with elected officials and candidates that includes people active on conservation issues in BC, including:

Lisa Matthaus, Casey Brennan, Guy Dauncey and many others informally.

The Board takes full responsibility for endorsement decisions; the advisory committee provides information only.

If you come into regular contact with elected officials on conservation matters and hold no formal position with a polical party, contact us about possibly joining the advisory committee.
