Wendy Hayko is an Emergency Management expert with over twenty years experience building resilient communities. Wendy has experience at bringing people and government agencies together for solutions from many sides of the table, including non-profit organizations, local and global business, and as municipal and First Nations staff.

Wendy believes government is there to support the best in people and organizations, and to curb the worst. In government, the job of an MLA is to represent people and all life, valuing them over corporate interests.

Wendy’s goals include changing policy to ensure housing is treated as a human right, available and accessible to all. Additionally, Wendy will expand the work BC Greens have begun to ensure health care, physical and mental, is prioritized and supported so everyone in BC gets the care they need, when they need it, because supporting wellness, in addition to emergency and trauma care, is a crucial component of our health care system.

Wendy’s focus will be on Climate and Emergency policies which move British Columbia towards a safe, sustainable future. The economic opportunities when shifting from fossil fuels are enormous; Wendy will support local business to take advantage of those opportunities, so sustainable choices become available to people in all walks of life.
