It’s Election Day in South Surrey-White Rock, and Canadians across the country are heading to the polls.
On Monday morning, a steady stream of people was arriving at White Rock Community Centre – one of Elections Canada's designated polling places – to cast their ballots.
Canada's federal election was called March 23 amid a trade war with the United States, and parties have been campaigning for the past 37 days to earn their seats in the next Parliament.
A new federal government is expected to be named Monday night, April 28, as Canada’s 2025 snap election gets underway.
The main parties vying for the 343 seats in the House of Commons are Mark Carney’s Liberals, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats, Elizabeth May and Jonathan Pedneault’s Greens, Yves-François Blanchet’s Bloc Quebecois and Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party of Canada.
Polls are open in British Columbia from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m.
