Whistler resident and local realtor Keith Roy has been nominated as the Conservative candidate for the West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky riding.
“Earlier today Conservative Party members in our riding chose Keith to lead us to victory in the next federal election. Thank you to all who voted and contributed to the record turnout,” the conservative association shared the news on the weekend.
Roy announced his plans to run last September and will focus on critical issues for riding. He has also been endorsed by the former Leader of the Official Opposition and Member of Parliament for West Vancouver-Sea to Sky, John Reynolds.
“In Ottawa, I will be focused on the issues that our communities are dealing with every day, including drug-fuelled crime on the Sunshine Coast, congestion on the North Shore, Sea to Sky Highway and at BC Ferries, and the rising cost of everything thanks to the carbon tax,” Roy said.
Roy outlined his five priorities, key issues for local residents that he will look to address in Ottawa.
Common sense conservative values – He vows to stand up to woke nonsense in Ottawa.
Carbon Tax – Axe the tax to make life more affordable for all Canadians. Congestion – Work to improve congestion on the North Shore, Sea to Sky highway and at BC Ferries by building more roads and buying more ferries.
Crime – Put repeat offenders behind bars and invest in world-class drug recovery, not handing out free drugs.
Climate – Fight for clean air, wild salmon, carbon capture technology and replacing coal-burning power plants with clean Canadian LNG.
Born and raised in British Columbia, Roy grew up in North Vancouver, Powell River and Vancouver. He attended high school at Vancouver College and has an Honours BA in Political Science from the University of Guelph in Ontario. He has been a realtor and team leader with Macdonald Realty and RE/MAX in the Lower Mainland for 17 years, giving him a firm understanding of housing, one of the province’s most pressing issues. He lives in Whistler with his wife Stephanie and their 3-year-old son Kai.
