Christian Heritage Party of BC candidate for MLA in Langford-Highlands. He is also the party's leader, by Elections BC's party register and the party's website.
Christian McCay is the Christian Heritage Party of BC candidate in Langford-Highlands, where Ravi Parmar of the BC NDP won in 2024 with 11,444 votes (51.87 percent). Elections BC's register of political parties lists him as the party's leader, and the party's candidates page names him as both leader and candidate for the district. In a statement on that page he says he has spent years in grassroots advocacy before school boards, local governments and MLAs, and that he spoke early against the SOGI 123 school resource. These are his own and his party's statements, and voche.me has not checked them with a second source. He holds no elected office on voche.me's record, and the commitments listed here come from the party's platform page.

01 / Introduction
About Christian McCay
Elections BC lists Christian McCay as a candidate for the Christian Heritage Party of BC in Langford-Highlands, on the copy of the candidate list stamped October 3, 2026 08:00:07 PM. The same list shows four other accepted nominations in the district: Sean Flynn (CentreBC), Christopher Moon (BC Green Party), Ravi Parmar (BC NDP) and Cindy Scott (Conservative Party). Nominations closed at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026.
Elections BC's register of political parties, read on October 3, 2026, gives Christian McCay as the leader of the Christian Heritage Party of British Columbia. The party's candidates page lists "Christian McCay, Langford-Highlands" and has him write that he is the party's provincial leader, so voche.me treats the leader and the candidate as one person on the strength of that page. The party's board page and home page also name him as leader. A party release dated October 24, 2025 says he was elected leader without opposition at the party's annual general meeting in Abbotsford on October 18, 2025, that he is of Victoria and was formerly of Campbell River, and that he ran with the endorsement of the national party leader, Rod Taylor.
His candidate statement on the party's page is in the first person. He says he has organized grassroots efforts and advocated before school boards, local government and MLAs on issues affecting families, individual freedoms and communities, that he grew up in a family business and is raising five children, and that he spoke early about the SOGI 123 school resource and travelled the province encouraging people to run for school boards. He says that during COVID he helped organize efforts so people could take their concerns to government, that he advocated for independent schools when funding changes were proposed, and that he organized volunteers and asked local government for funding so people experiencing homelessness could have a warm place to eat. The page gives no dates, no places and no organizations for any of this. voche.me found no second source for these statements.
In a letter on the party's website, dated by the site's page data to August 25, 2026, he writes that he became involved in the 2018 school board elections as SOGI 123 was being expanded across British Columbia. In an opinion article dated August 29, 2026 he writes "I have come and gone from the Conservative Party of BC" and gives no dates. The party's October 2025 release says he became politically active over SOGI 123 and, during the COVID mandates, took part in weekly gatherings at the Legislature in Victoria. That release is the party's account, and voche.me has not checked it.
voche.me found no elected office, no earlier run in a provincial election and no news report about him. BC Ballot, an independent election information site, lists no previous run, term or finance report for him, and the 2024 statement of votes names no candidate called McCay in any district. The Christian Heritage Party of BC had no candidate in Langford-Highlands in 2024.

Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
The name search was limited: the WebSearch tool had reached its usage limit. One search results page (Brave, name with the party) was read and listed the party's pages, BC Ballot, Wikipedia's page on the party, the Elections BC party register and the party's X account; Bing and DuckDuckGo returned no usable results. No news report, interview or all-candidates meeting that names him was found. The party's X account could not be read, its Facebook page showed no readable posts and its Instagram page was not read, and no account of his own was found, so nothing from social media is used. The party's home page describes a CHP Talks podcast episode with Rod Taylor in which he discusses his background, including earlier work at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. The episode was not found on the party's YouTube page, so voche.me does not know what those earlier roles were. His statements about grassroots advocacy, SOGI 123, COVID-era organizing, independent school funding, homelessness volunteering, the 2018 school board elections and past membership of the Conservative Party of BC come only from the party's pages and his own pieces, with no dates or organizations. The party's release says he took part in weekly gatherings at the Legislature and that access points were blocked for weeks. That is the party's account and was not checked. BC Ballot records no earlier run for him in provincial, federal or local election records. Local election records for 2018 and 2022 were not searched by name. Campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list, register of political parties, key dates page and 2024 statement of votes; the party's home page, candidates page, board page, platform page, events page and four of its posts (the leader election release, and three pieces signed by him); and the BC Ballot pages for the district and for him. Name, district and party are as Elections BC prints them.
No campaign website of his own, no public social media account of his own and no news report about him were found. The name search was limited because the search tool had reached its usage limit, so the lack of news coverage is not confirmed. The party's accounts on X, Facebook and Instagram gave no readable posts, and nothing from them is used. A podcast episode with Rod Taylor that the party's home page describes was not found, so nothing from it is used. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
