Vancouver Mayor-Elect Pete Fry Hits the Campaign Trail With B.C. Green Leader Emily Lowan
Days after winning Vancouver's mayoralty on October 17, Pete Fry joined B.C. Green leader Emily Lowan in Sidney on October 20 for a media availability and door-knocking ahead of the October 24 provincial election — backing her in a personal capacity, not as a City of Vancouver endorsement.
Why it matters
Fry won a landslide on October 17 to become Vancouver's first Green mayor, and three days later he was on the provincial campaign trail stumping for his party's leader. It signals deepening coordination between the municipal and provincial Greens — and tests how he balances party loyalty with City Hall neutrality.
Full report
Vancouver mayor-elect Pete Fry appeared in Sidney, B.C.'s Mermaid Park on October 20, holding a media availability and going door-knocking alongside B.C. Green leader Emily Lowan ahead of the snap provincial election on Saturday, October 24.
Fry told Daily Hive he is supporting Lowan and fellow Green candidate Jeremy Valeriote in a personal capacity and will not endorse any provincial candidate on behalf of the City of Vancouver. Having served eight years on council, he said he has worked with most of the sitting NDP MLAs and has a great working relationship with them: "I certainly wouldn't want to jeopardize that."
Fry won a landslide victory over incumbent Mayor Ken Sim in the October 17 municipal election, becoming Vancouver's first Green mayor. He will be officially sworn in on November 2, 2026.
B.C.'s snap provincial election is on Saturday, October 24. Polls show the B.C. Greens trailing, but the party has been campaigning vigorously in recent weeks, including proposals for government-run grocery stores and measures to support small breweries.
