Blair Visscher

I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Sustainability at the University of British Columbia Okanagan and I work with the Living with Wildfires in the Okanagan research group. Previously, I was a high school social studies teacher and a passionate advocate for food security. I have a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a Bachelor of Education degree. Over the past year, as CEO of the North-Okanagan Shuswap Green Party EDA, I’ve expanded our board by over 75%, strengthening our movement for real change.

If elected, I will work to support local farmers in adapting to climate change—because they are the backbone of our past, present, and future. I will also fight for real solutions to the housing and cost of living crisis, ensuring that everyone in our community has access to affordable housing and essential services. My vision for Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee includes better public transportation, resilient communities prepared for drought and wildfires, and a shift toward proactive, sustainable policies.

The challenges we face require bold action, but they also present opportunities. By implementing the Green Party’s vision, we can build a future where we take care of each other, protect our environment, and create new opportunities for generations to come.

Let’s work together for a greener, fairer, and more sustainable Canada.
