Lisa Gunderson

BC Greens candidate for Oak Bay-Gordon Head

I am deeply committed to serving people over politics and creating equitable environments for all. Let's work together on real solutions that drive positive change for Oak bay - Gordon Head.

Public transit

BC Greens's promise

I support fast, frequent and free bus service; this reduces traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces the cost of living.

Climate Change & the Environment

Forests and forestry

BC Greens's promise

We must end logging of old-growth forests and support forestry-revenue-dependant communities to create environmentally sustainable jobs.

Power generation

BC Greens's promises

I commit to bringing forward a private members bill to end fossil fuel subsidies.

BC Greens will end permitting for new fracking, phase out gas production, and reject any new LNG projects.

Public transit

BC Greens's promise

I support fast, frequent and free bus service; this reduces traffic, greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces the cost of living.

Education

K-12 funding

BC Greens's promise

Equity in education means that every student receives a school issued laptop, for students in grade 6-12.

K-12 learning needs

BC Greens's promise

We must equip teachers and students with the knowledge to keep pace with our rapidly changing digital world through digital literacy.

School nutrition

BC Greens's promise

I support a universal school program to ensure equal access, high nutritional standards and strong collaboration with communities.

Student mental health

BC Greens's promise

We must expand access to school psychologists and increase the number of guidance counsellors.

Healthcare

Drugs and addiction

BC Greens's promise

I support regulated alternatives to toxic supply, cutting profit for organized crime and increased connection to health and social services

Family doctors and primary care

BC Greens's promise

I will ensure that everyone has access to a Primary Health Care centre, offering timely and comprehensive care in once place.

Health staffing

BC Greens's promise

The province must support physicians with leases and administration so that physicians can focus on patient care.

Hospitals

BC Greens's promise

Our hospitals have been underfunded for too long; they are falling into disrepair. I will ensure they have the resources to re-open 24/7.

Housing & Homelessness

Drugs and addiction

BC Greens's promise

I support regulated alternatives to toxic supply, cutting profit for organized crime and increased connection to health and social services

Jobs, Businesses, & Labour

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team

I believe fundamentally that politics can result in positive change.

I know that because I understand my history and the lived experiences of my ancestors. Oftentimes, the system does not see us - the people. I think a lot of constituents don’t feel heard and/or feel that they are not important. For decades, I have amplified the voices and issues that are often not heard or deemed not important by systems. This can’t continue, we do not have time to waste. So I am motivated to put my constituents and British Columbians first for a sustainable and hopeful future.
