Sonia Furstenau is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2017 provincial election.[1] She represents the electoral district of Cowichan Valley as a member of the Green Party of British Columbia caucus.[1]
On November 2, 2016, Green Party leader Andrew Weaver announced that Furstenau would replace Adam Olsen as one of the deputy leaders of the party.
In 2014 Furstenau started her political career by being elected to serve as a director of Electoral Area B within the Cowichan Valley Regional District. This was after two years working with the Shawnigan Resident's Association to protest and appeal a British Columbia Provincial permit that allowed the siting of a landfill on the banks of the community's source of drinking water, Shawnigan Lake.
Prior to elected office, she was a high school teacher in Victoria and Shawnigan Lake. She has a BA and MA in History from the University of Victoria.[2]
