Jeremy Valeriote is a Canadian politician who has served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia (MLA) representing the electoral district of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky since 2024.[1][2] He is the first member of the Green Party of British Columbia elected on British Columbia's mainland. Following the resignation of Sonia Furstenau, Valeriote briefly served as interim leader of the Green Party of British Columbia until the 2025 leadership election, where he was succeeded by Emily Lowan.[3][4]
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.[5]
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,[6] but after the advance ballots were counted he was found to have narrowly lost to Jordan Sturdy of the British Columbia Liberal Party.[7]
