Who are David Eby, John Rustad and Sonia Furstenau? Profiles of the B.C. party leaders

The 2024 British Columbia election is on the horizon, with general voting day on Oct. 19.

While four parties held official party status during the last sitting of the legislature, just three are on the campaign trail: the B.C. NDP, the Conservative Party of B.C. and the B.C. Green Party.

B.C. United, which held the position of official opposition, is not running any candidates after Leader Kevin Falcon withdrew from the campaign.

Here are video profiles taking a closer look at the leaders of the three major parties contesting the election.

All three party leaders will participate in a televised debate on Oct. 8, which will be carried live on CBC TV, CBC Radio One, YouTube, TikTok, CBC Gem and CBC News B.C., the 24/7 streaming channel.
