The 2025 Canadian Federal Election is officially underway! Announced on March 23, we will be going to the polls on April 28. Throughout the next few weeks, we plan on being your one-stop shop for everything going on in the Prince George – Peace River – Northern Rockies riding. 

Already, we have had multiple candidates announced for our riding. As of this writing, incumbent MP Bob Zimmer is running once more with the Conservative Party, David Watson is representing the People’s Party of Canada, Mary Forbes is the candidate for the Green Party, and Cory Longley​ will be running under the NDP banner.

As we get into the swing of things, we want to hear from you. Fill out our survey and let us know what are the most important topics for you this election cycle. We will then take your questions and ask them to the candidates running to help you decide who to vote for. The survey closes March 31​, so make sure to fill it out while you can and share with friends and family.
