Jeremy Valeriote

Jeremy Valeriote is a member of the Green Party of British Columbia representing the riding of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky. He was first elected in the 2024 British Columbia general election. He was the first BC Green elected on the B.C. mainland. Following the resignation of Sonia Furstenau, Valeriote was appointed as interim leader until a leadership election is held.

Valeriote is a geological engineer by training who worked for more than two decades as an environmental consultant in the mining, environmental management and impact assessment sectors. He has also consulted for local government and sat on the town council in Gibsons from 2014 to 2018. He worked in the mayor's office in Squamish from 2021 to 2023.

He previously ran in the same district in the 2020 British Columbia general election, and was briefly reported as the winner of the seat that year, but after the advance ballots were counted he was found to have narrowly lost to Jordan Sturdy of the British Columbia Liberal Party.
