After former leader Jane Sterk resigned, the B.C. Green Party has appointed a new interim leader.
Former Central Saanich councillor Adam Olsen, a B.C. Green Party candidate in Saanich North, is taking over the role of leader.
Sterk, who announced in June she would resign at the party’s annual AGM this weekend after leading the party for the past six years
Olsen, 37, born in Victoira, is a member of the Tsartlip First Nation.
No official date has been announced by the Greens to elect a new leader.
A date has not yet been set for when a new leader will be formally elected.
The Greens now have a seat in the BC Legislature after Andrew Weaver won a seat in Vancouver Island’s Oak Bay riding.
Olsen has appointed Weaver as deputy leader, the same position he held under Sterk.
