Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May were all in BC this weekend.
The four Prime Minister candidates were in town, separately, as their campaigns came to a close.
Here’s a look at what they up to this weekend.
Elizabeth May
The Green Party Leader stopped by Vancouver’s infamous Downtown Eastside, as well as Vancouver Island. While in BC, May also met with environmentalist David Suzuki, as well as Jody Wilson-Raybould, a candidate running in the Vancouver Granville riding who was at the center of the SNC-Lavalin scandal involving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Vancouver-East candidate @votebridgetb and @ElizabethMay visited Oppenheimer Park on the Downtown East Side today, and spoke to the people living there.
It's time to making access to housing a human right.

Campaigning in Vancouver yesterday was so much fun. It's been so gratifying to see the #GreenWave wash over this city.
In 2009, Gregor Robertson said Vancouver would be greenest city in the world by 2020. We're not there yet, but with Greens in Ottawa, we can do it! #GPC pic.twitter.com/hXFw09WUqk

I visited the downtown eastside yesterday and was moved to see the poverty that is experienced on a daily basis in this area of #Vancouver.
We have the tools and the resources to eradicate poverty in Canada — we just aren't doing it. Greens commit to housing for all. pic.twitter.com/7ca5rlfpmG

The #GreenWave in Vancouver last night was unreal!

Jagmeet Singh
After going viral late last week with several videos on Tik-Tok, the NDP Leader attended several rallies in British Columbia, including one at the University of Victoria and one at the Vogue Theatre. This morning, Singh and his wife, Gurkiran, voted in his riding of Burnaby South.
Dropped by the University of Victoria and was overwhelmed with this sense of hope. Throughout this campaign it's become so clear to me that young people are going to change the world for the better. #elxn43 pic.twitter.com/1vXf4TbAl8

People are seeing themselves in our campaign. They're seeing that they don't have to make a choice out of fear.
Here in Vancouver and across the country – people are realizing that better is possible.
And they're excited about it💪🏾#UpRiSingh #elxn43 pic.twitter.com/N7frivT2nh

Andrew Scheer
The Conservative Party Leader attended mass at St. Andrew’s Parish on Sunday, and also stopped by the office of Gabrielle Loren, a Conservative running in the West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea To Sky Country riding.
