Both Stephen Fuhr, a former Liberal MP for 91大黄鸭 - Lake Country, and Former Conservative MP Tom Siddon from Burnaby -Richmond-Delta, have announced their support for Anna Warwick Sears in the upcoming provincial election.

Siddon was the founding chair of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council, an advisory body of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, which Warwick Sears has lead as the Executive Director since 2017 and been a member of for more than 17 years.

鈥淲arwick Sears has given her consistent and dedicated leadership to the important work of Okanagan Basin Water Board," said Siddon. 

In light of change and uncertainty in the province and the "ever increasing threats caused by wildfires and climate change," Siddon said he has no hesitation in endorsing Warwick Sears.

Fuhr, a former MP with the federal Liberal Party has also been vocal in his support for Warwick Sears, despite his dissent with some aspects of the BC NDP platform.
