Rob Bottrell brings a wealth of experience to the table, having worked in government finance and law, including his time with British Columbia's Ministry of Finance. His professional career has centered around advocating for a stable economy and better healthcare while addressing social and economic inequalities. One of his core focuses is on environmental protection, particularly for First Nations communities. This aligns closely with the values of the Saanich North and the Islands, a region that includes the environmentally sensitive Southern Gulf Islands such as Saltspring, Galiano, and Mayne.
With a population of nearly 58,000, Saanich North and the Islands covers a broad spectrum of communities, from the more urbanized North Saanich and Sidney to the rural and eco-conscious Gulf Islands. Bottrell’s background and approach seem well-suited to addressing the unique needs of this diverse constituency. The district itself saw some boundary adjustments in 2023, with Brentwood Bay now included, further shaping the dynamics of the race.
As polls closed and results trickled in, it became clear that Bottrell’s appeal resonated with voters seeking continuity with the Green Party’s environmental vision while also focusing on social justice and economic stability. His projected win is not just a victory for him personally but also for the Green Party’s broader vision for sustainable development and governance in British Columbia. As the region watches him take on this new role, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation about what his leadership will bring to Saanich North and the Islands in the coming years.
