The business interests have acutely penetrated all politics. The BC Greens have not been penetrated. We all want our Old Growth Forests protected as is our duty. It is time to wake up. We are opened and operated by our Great Mother and need to be embraced and guided by her as she holds us to her bosom. We need to listen to our Great Mother and get the world to listen to her. If we do not listen to her we will expedite our own demise through this climate crisis. We will not be able to sustain our lives anymore. The BC Greens is the only political party that is not owned and operated by business interests that would sacrifice Nature for business profit.

I’m proud to endorse David Evans for the BC Green Party. David shares the same values that are important to me—environmental sustainability, social justice, and responsible economic growth. He’s committed to putting people and the planet first, ensuring a future where our communities thrive in harmony with nature. He is a force for change, a voice for the people, and a champion for our planet.

I wholeheartedly support David Evans as the Provincial Green Party MLA candidate. With a background in farming and horticulture and as the owner of the Stick's Coffee Roastoreum, David has been a cornerstone of our community, embodying sustainability and local engagement. David's vision for our future is one of collaboration, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship, which is exactly what is needed to address the issues associated with growing traffic, cost of living, housing insecurity, healthcare, political division, drought, and the climate crisis.

David Evans, Sonia and the rest of the Greens are killing it. Keep up the good work. Last week I travelled to Prince George for a forest management symposium, and Likely to give a presentation on the Mount Polley mine disaster, and have been spreading the word of the Green's platform. It’s brave and detailed and I feel like if people take the time to read it, it sells itself!

Sooke Resident

I've known David Evans for over 12 years and feel he will bring a refreshing change to our region! Over the years he has had his ear to the ground and has always listened to what us locals have had to say. I'm excited to see what he can do, Go David Go!

Sooke Resident

“Over the 20 years I have known David Evans, he has earned my respect as a highly intelligent public figure who listens attentively. Mr. Evans possesses the requisite skills to reduce and refocus the current excessive BC government expenditures under the NDP while striving to reduce green house gas emissions. David is focused on finding solutions to our five growing insecurities under the NDP: health, housing, the cost of living, food, and climate. If you want positive change, don’t vote for the same old parties that are responsible for our multiple local predicaments, lack of infrastructure, and the humanitarian crisis that we are currently suffering through. The best option for much needed and immediate positive change in our riding is David Evans and the BC Greens!“

Sooke Resident

“Support the BC Greens for meaningful action on climate change, improved health care, affordable housing, and a prosperous business community. David Evans will excel as our MLA; he is a deeply committed, approachable, and hard-working community builder.”

Trustee, SD62 Board of Education (2018-Present) & Director, BC School Trustees Association

“I’ve known David Evans for years through my roles as a job developer and school board trustee. He was a reliable employer who warmly welcomed new team members and positively influenced our Sooke community with his leadership, humor, and sincerity. As a Trustee and former Chair of the Climate Change Working Group, David and I have discussed extensively the role of education in tackling climate change. He understands its potential to drive meaningful change. I will be voting for David Evans in the upcoming election.”

Forest Ecologist and Esquimalt-Metchosin BC Greens Candidate (2017 & 2020)

“For those of us who care passionately about environmental issues, especially land use and resource management, successive NDP governments have been a HUGE disappointment. Fortunately, BC's Greens are champions for these issues, and the only reasonable choice for a future that's not only environmentally sound but also socially and economically progressive. Our riding has an exceptional candidate in David Evans - intelligent, thoughtful, a man of integrity. I'll vote for David, and I encourage you to do the same!”

Metchosin Resident

“I’m supporting David Evans because he is very knowledgeable about green solutions and he lives by green values. I find him to be smart and resourceful. He will be a great asset to the BC Greens in the Legislature. I’m certain David will work hard for his constituents in our exciting new electoral district Juan de Fuca-Malahat.”

Sooke Resident

“I’m supporting David Evans for four reasons. (1) His character: he works hard and he’s a builder. (2) David’s experience: he’s a young business person and very different from your typical politician. (3) David’s ideas: ask him about traffic, health care, forest fires, the climate emergency or anything else - the guy has practical ideas that will change our community and our province for the better. (4) He can win: the other candidates are going to split the “same old” vote and David’s going to win the “time for real change” vote!”

Trustee, SD62 Board of Education (2022-Present) & Sooke Municipal Councillor (2014-2022)

“I usually vote NDP, but I’m confident that David Evans is the best and most effective person for this work. From #Dividedby14 to The Stick in the Mud, he has actively lead improvements in our region for over a decade. With the BC Greens, David has the freedom to represent us based on the 6 Core Principles of the party. Candidates of other parties have to vote the way the party whip tells them to, and that will not benefit the unique needs of our riding. I’ll be voting Evans, and I hope you do, too!

Former CVRD Director

David Evans has run a successful small business for many years, and has an in-depth knowledge of local and provincial issues and excellent communication skills. As the former CVRD director for Mill Bay/Malahat, I can say that David is exactly the right candidate to bring together and represent both South Cowichan, Sooke, and Metchosin in the new riding of Juan de Fuca-Malahat.

Former School Board Chair, Former Regional Director

“We all need to be concerned about the long list of problems we face- housing insecurity, overwhelmed health care, traffic snarls, declining salmon, forests burning. What is offered by the mainstream parties - business as usual- is not working. We need a new direction and that is why I am supporting David Evans of the BC Greens. He understands that the status quo is not capable of solving the problems it has created. As a community activist and in my political career, I have seen how critical it is for an elected official to have the vision, the intelligence, the communication skills, and the ability to collaborate with others to get things done. David Evans has these attributes in abundance.”

Sooke Resident & Author

I came to the South Island in 2022. I was nervous about moving to a small town but, when I stopped in for coffee at "The Stick", I was immediately greeted by a friendly face and a safe space. David Evans welcomed me to the community and to his business in Sooke, Stick In The Mud. At that cafe I watched David treat strangers and regulars with equal kindness. David listens and watches, and when I told him I wrote a book, he bought it and read it. David finds common ground, making people feel at home, and when he sold his cafe, it became a co-op because of the culture David created. The cafe continues to be a success. I endorse Mr. Evans wholeheartedly. David is capable and driven to give back to future generations, to create policies that will sustainably grow the Juan de Fuca region, and to leave it better than we received it.
