Of the nine electoral districts in British Columbia's north and Interior, six have stayed with the same party in every election the last twenty years. In 2019, 70 per cent of voters in Prince George–Peace River–Northern Rockies chose Conservative candidate Bob Zimmer to represent them for a third term. In Skeena-Bulkley Valley, NDP candidate and former Smithers mayor Taylor Bachrach seeks re-election against Conservative Claire Ratté, a former Kitimat councillor. In South Okanagan-West Kootenay, NDP candidate Richard Cannings seeks a third term against Helena Konanz, a former Penticton city councillor. Each week CBC British Columbia will take a brief look at a different region of the province in this federal election.
