Featured Panelists: Richard Zussman, Geoff Meggs, Linda Hepner, Rob Fleming & Brad West
Wednesday October 28, 2026

Online (via Zoom)
Now that the votes have been counted, what do the 2026 B.C. and municipal election results mean for the future of our communities?
Join us for a post-election discussion examining the results across B.C. and Metro Vancouver, the key shifts in local and provincial politics, and what the new political landscape could mean for development, housing, infrastructure and the broader real estate market.
The panel will look beyond the results themselves to discuss what comes next, including the priorities facing newly elected governments and the issues that are likely to shape the year ahead.
Any donations received go directly to the Pooni Group Foundation which helps support scholarships and food programs in the community.
Note: Municipal elections took place on October 17, 2026, followed by the Provincial Election on October 24, 2026.
