Episode Details

Burnaby city council faces a significant overhaul as three long-serving councillors, including the two longest-serving active members and the most popular vote-getter from the last election, announce they wont seek re-election. The Burnaby Citizens Association, an NDP-linked civic party, plans to run four new candidates alongside four incumbents, including Joe Keithley who recently switched from the Greens. The BCA will continue to support independent Mayor Mike Hurley, who won in 2018 and got acclaimed in 2022 with their support. The move towards fresh faces and new ideas leaves council looking much different soon, with only two members left from the 2018 election. The strong civic scene rooted in NDP support in Burnaby is now open to new contenders.
