Thank you to the Residents of Oak Bay-Gordon Head
With the announcement yesterday that the province is heading into a general election on October 24, my term as the MLA for Oak Bay Gordon Head has come to an end. This will be my last post on my MLA website.
I would like to thank you, the constituents of this fabulous riding, for extending me the great honour of serving you these last 7 1/2 years. It has been a very rewarding experience for me and I have been so very fortunate to have worked with outstanding constituency staff over this period. If you have contacted my constituency office, you too will have had first hand experience working with these exceptional individuals.
Thank you Judy Fainstein, Perry Fainstein, Devon deLarge, Allie deLarge, Rory Hills, Sarah Miller, Teresa Hartrick and Huxley Johnson.
Over the years I also had the privilege of working with first rate legislative staff. I was first elected in May 2013 and our small but mighty legislative team immediately immersed itself into building a BC Green presence in the BC Legislature. Thank you Taylor Hartrick, Evan Pivnick, Matt Wright, Sarah Miller, Claire Hume, Aldous Sperl and Judy Fainstein for your support during my first term: 2013 – 2017.
With the 2017 election delivering a minority BC NDP government and the BC Greens holding the balance of power, our legislative team grew. I remain grateful to the hard work of Liz Lilly, Macon McGinley, Judy Rendek, Stephanie Siddon and the legislative interns and volunteers who supported our office over the years.
Of course, I would never have been elected were it not for the hard work of the literally hundreds of volunteers who helped me in the 2013 and 2017 election campaigns. I ran on a promise to bring climate policy back to the forefront in BC. And with the establishment of CleanBC, I feel my work is done.
Finally, thank you to the candidates who have stepped forward to seek your vote to represent you as the MLA for Oak Bay Gordon Head in the upcoming election. From the quality of the candidates stepping forward, it is clear to me that our riding will be in good hands moving forward, regardless who wins the upcoming race.
Thank you again.
Andrew

Thank you Mr. Weaver for your service. I was very proud to have had such a person as you – to vote for in the past two elections!! Best wishes to you for the future. Cheers
Very best wishes, sir, for future health and happiness for your and all of your family. I very much appreciated your non political candour and dedication to the job.
Many thanks for helping us get rid of that first bunch of dead boats in Cadboro Bay a couple of years ago. Sure hope your replacement has the same work ethic.
Cheers

Cadboro Bay Residents Association and founder of the Cadboro Bay Dead Boats Society
Hi Andrew,
Just want to say thank you for all the service you have done for your community over the years. I remember you came to teach my grade 3 class about climate and weather at Campus View Elementary. I remember your commitment as a coach to the Gordon Head soccer team that I was on throughout a lot of my childhood. And most recently, I’m proud to have voted for you in Oak Bay-Gordon Head during the last provincial election. Thank you for showing me around the legislature and the hell you have to go through every day there. I’m disappointed I can’t vote for you next month (I have no idea who I’m going to vote for now!), but I respect your decision to return to teaching at UVIC, it sure seems like a much less stressful job than being a politician!
Anyway, thank you again for all your hard work and service for the community in Victoria, and for the greater good of the whole province.
All the best,
-Steven Adams
Thank you for your service Mr Weaver. You represented us well. All the best to you and your family.
Thanks for your service to our community and for advancing awareness and policies on climate.
Aren’t BC’s emissions going up? I am wondering how your own thinking has evolved and how your public service will impact the academic work. Good luck to you.
Shouldn’t BC stop all coal exports? Indeed all exports of fossil fuels?

Dr. Weaver, it is YOU that we owe a huge debt of gratitude. I, among many, trusted you immediately, and have been so happy that you chose to put your expertise and personality in the hands of placing B.C. our beloved home to benefit. Thank you Sir. You will Never be forgotten.
