Eight facts on the public record about one current BC MLA. Read them, then guess who.
Which MLA still has no constituency office inside the riding she represents, 19 months after being elected?

Those were the reasons given in the OneBC board statement on 13 December 2025 when they removed her as party leader.
Source: CBC News, December 2025Which MLA introduced a bill to repeal Truth and Reconciliation Day?
On 20 November 2025, she introduced a private member's bill in the BC Legislative Assembly seeking to repeal the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Notably, her riding encompasses the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people and directly borders Musqueam Reserve lands.

Dallas Brodie
The elected MLA for Vancouver-Quilchena. This is her record. This is why a recall petition is open until 20 July 2026.
A short chronology of representation in this riding
2022
She stood as the BC Conservative candidate and received 6.6% of the vote.
2024
Elected as a BC Conservative MLA for the Vancouver-Quilchena riding (October).
2025
The BC Conservatives expelled her (March).
2026
She now leads OneBC, a party with a different platform from the one she ran on.
Why a recall
Where is our MLA?
Since being elected in October 2024, many constituents feel Dallas Brodie has focused on controversy and ideological projects instead of local priorities like affordability, public safety, schools, health care, and community services.
There was no constituency office at all for the first 18 months after she was elected. A temporary one has now opened, but it sits outside the riding boundary. She has failed to respond to many constituent concerns and has been largely absent from community events.
After being removed from the BC Conservative Party in March 2025, Brodie helped found and now leads a new political party, OneBC, which does not hold official party status in the legislature.
Her public statements and actions regarding Indigenous peoples and reconciliation have alarmed many in our diverse community. Multiple Indigenous leadership organisations across British Columbia have publicly called for her resignation. See what they have said →
Vancouver-Quilchena deserves an MLA who shows up, listens, and works constructively on the issues that affect everyday life.
More on the record below: her own statements and the responses they have drawn ↓
How a recall works
Three steps. 54 days left. One signature at a time.
- 1
Signatures are being collected now.
Registered canvassers are collecting in-person signatures across Vancouver-Quilchena from 21 May to 20 July 2026. Signatures must be witnessed on paper, in ink, by a registered canvasser.
- 2
More than 15,000 valid signatures are needed.
Elections BC requires 15,232 valid signatures (40% of registered voters in the riding) before 20 July 2026. After the deadline, the petition closes and Elections BC verifies every signature.
- 3
If the threshold is met, a by-election follows.
Ms Brodie is officially recalled, and a by-election is called within 90 days. Vancouver-Quilchena chooses a new MLA.
The riding
Vancouver-Quilchena.
Vancouver-Quilchena sits on the traditional unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Indigenous peoples have lived here for many thousands of years, and the riding borders the Musqueam Indian Reserve today.
The riding takes in Dunbar, Kerrisdale, Arbutus Ridge, Shaughnessy, and Quilchena. Cherry-blossom streets, leafy parks, a coastline that runs out to the Fraser.
Vancouver-Quilchena is home to one of the most diverse modern communities in the city. Teachers, shopkeepers, doctors, lawyers, retirees, newly-landed families. People who chose this corner of Vancouver to invest in for the long term.
A riding like this is not one to take for granted. It deserves a representative willing to do the work of an MLA: to show up, to listen, and to put the community first.

Practical questions
Common questions about signing.
Eligibility, what to bring, what happens next. If your question isn’t here, the Elections BC official recall FAQ covers the legal detail.
Am I eligible to sign?
You can sign if you were registered to vote in Vancouver-Quilchena on 19 October 2024 (the last provincial election), and you are still a registered voter in British Columbia on the day you sign.
You do not need to have voted in 2024, only to have been registered.
If you are not sure whether you were registered, check with Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683 or elections.bc.ca before signing.
Can I sign online?
No. Elections BC requires physical, in-person signatures, in ink, on the official petition sheet. The website cannot collect signatures. Find an in-person table on this page, or join the mailing list and we'll tell you when there's one nearby.
What happens if more than 15,232 people sign?
Elections BC verifies the signatures (this can take up to 42 days). If the threshold is met, Ms Brodie is officially recalled and her seat becomes vacant. A by-election must then be called within 90 days, giving voters in Vancouver-Quilchena the chance to choose a new representative.
Is this campaign affiliated with a political party?
No. This campaign has no affiliation in any way with any political party, party organisation, or candidate.
It is run by local Vancouver-Quilchena residents, volunteers exercising their democratic right as constituents to ask whether their MLA is still representing them.
People who oppose Ms Brodie's positions and conduct are welcome regardless of which party they normally support.
Does signing make my name public?
Petition sheets are available to the public, by request, for one year after the petition is submitted.
If you sign with your home address and phone number, you can request that these be redacted from public inspection by ticking the box next to your signature.
Full details: Elections BC Recall FAQs.
What if I'm not in Vancouver-Quilchena? How can I help?
You cannot sign the petition unless you were registered to vote in Vancouver-Quilchena in 2024. But you can still help.
You can volunteer to canvass in the riding (canvassers do not have to live in it), share this campaign with people you know in Vancouver-Quilchena, or donate.
Use the volunteer or donate buttons on this page.
What is a recall, exactly?
A recall is a democratic process under British Columbia's Recall and Initiative Act that allows voters to remove an elected MLA between regular election cycles.
Once Elections BC approves a recall application, registered canvassers have 60 days to collect signatures from at least 40% of the voters eligible to sign.
If the threshold is met and signatures are verified, the MLA's seat becomes vacant and a by-election follows within 90 days.
Who is the registered proponent of this recall?
The registered proponent under the Recall and Initiative Act is Dorothy Cumming, a local resident acting in a volunteer capacity. The campaign is not backed by any political party.
Why now, when she was only elected in 2024?
Under BC law, a recall application can only be submitted after an MLA has served 18 months in office. For Vancouver-Quilchena, that date was 20 April 2026.
Many residents feel that Ms Brodie's conduct in the intervening 18 months, including her expulsion from her own party and her largely absent presence in the riding, already justifies asking voters whether she should continue to represent them.
Will signing affect my voter registration?
No. Signing a recall petition has no effect on your voter registration. If your name or address has changed since the 2024 election, update your voter registration with Elections BC before you sign. See the Elections BC Recall FAQs for how.
What do I need to bring?
You will be asked to provide your name, home address, and signature. Phone number is optional, though it helps Elections BC verify your signature.
Use your current name and current address. Make sure your voter registration is up to date before you sign.
Postal addresses such as PO boxes are not accepted.
Full guidance: Elections BC Recall FAQs.
I am unable to sign the petition due to physical disability. Can someone sign for me?
Yes. You can ask someone else to assist you. The canvasser and the person providing assistance complete Elections BC form 939a — Physically Unable to Sign Recall Petition together at the time of signing.
Can canvassers come to my home?
Yes. Many of our canvassers go door-to-door across the riding. If you would prefer a canvasser to visit you at a specific time, join the mailing list with your postcode and we will let you know the next time a canvasser is in your area, or arrange a visit on request.
