Ladysmith-Oceanside is a new electoral district for 2024. It combines parts of the former Parksville-Qualicum and Nanaimo-North Cowichan ridings.
Both of those went NDP in the last election. Only one incumbent, Adam Walker, is running again — this time as an Independent. (He told the Vancouver Sun he was ousted from the NDP caucus because he tried to fire a unionized employee at his constituency office).
Running for the NDP this time is former school board trustee and small-business owner Stephanie Higginson.
The Green candidate is Laura Ferreira, while the Conservatives are represented by Brett Fee.
