The Conservatives have nominated Whistler real-estate agent, Keith Roy, to be their candidate for West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country in the next federal election.
Roy was announced by the Sea to Sky Conservative Association on X (formerly Twitter) as the local candidate on Saturday, March 2 after local party members picked between him and two other candidates.
Roy announced his intent to take on Liberal MP, Patrick Weiler, back in September 2023.
A first-time candidate, Roy was born and raised in southwest B.C., has a political science degree from the University of Guelph, and has been active in conservative politics since he interned for a Canadian Alliance MP in 2001.
A Whistler resident since 2021, Roy has spent the last two decades building up a real estate career in the Lower Mainland.
His platform through the nomination campaign targeted what he called “the 5 Cs: "common sense, the carbon tax, congestion, crime, and climate.”
The next federal election will take place on or before Oct. 20, 2025.
