One week out from election day, advance voting has commenced, and there is still no costed platform from the BC Conservatives. The BC NDP and the BC Greens both released their costed platforms earlier this week.

Paterson has been on Council since 2018 and often focuses on fiscal responsibility. oakbaynews.com/2026/09/14/i...

Finally, incumbent Esther Paterson sees finances, infrastructure, and housing that respects "neighbourhood character" as the 3 most important issues. www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

Green talks about tax rates, infrastructure, and attainable housing for middle-income families, saying we should "ensure that residents are a collaborative key element to existing and new land use planning that will directly impact them" www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

Incumbent Cairine Green was first elected to OB Council in 2011, after serving on North Saanich 's Council for 8 years. She talks about the importance of face-to-face dialogue. oakbaynews.com/2026/09/07/i...

In the @timescolonist.bsky.social, @hbraithwaite.bsky.social talks about managing change, prioritization, and long-term planning: www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

This brings us to the incumbents. First elected to Council 21 years ago and now running for a 6th term, Hazel Braithwaite is well-known across the community. She is also opposed to Bill 44 and wants change to be "appropriate". oakbaynews.com/2026/08/18/i...

Gleeson is also opposed to increased housing density and thinks it's important to get a majority of Council candidates elected who agree with him oakbaynews.com/2026/09/24/o...

Our final newcomer is David Gleeson, who missed both debates but brought colourful fashion sense to other all candidates events. He's all about financial sustainability, maintaining OB's character, and keeping the role of municipal government small. www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

Helme has made opposition to Bill 44 (provincial housing density mandate) part of her platform oakbaynews.com/2026/08/20/l...

Lawyer Roxanne Helme is running for Council for a second time (and is also a past BC Liberal candidate). She's getting a lot of mileage out of the word "appropriate." www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

Moore names community engagement, upholding the Official Community Plan, and fiscal awareness/transparency as OB's 3 most important challenges www.timescolonist.com/2026-civic-e...

Newcomer and OB High coach & counsellor Will Moore launched his campaign back in May. In the past he's advocated for progress at Carnarvon Park and for more community consultation on safe road design for cyclists and pedestrians. oakbaynews.com/2026/05/22/o...

Sweeney was one of the first candidates to announce her run. oakbaynews.com/2026/07/11/o...
