Sonia Furstenau is stepping down as leader of the BC Greens. The 54-year-old was first elected as an MLA in 2017 and became leader five years ago. But Furstenau failed to win a seat in last fall’s election after choosing to run in the NDP stronghold of Victoria-Beacon Hill. A new leader will be chosen by the party in September.
