01 / Introduction
## About Dan Grice
Elections BC lists Dan Grice as the CentreBC candidate in Chilliwack North. On the list stamped October 1, 2026 08:00:07 PM, the other accepted nominations in the district are Heather Maahs of the Conservative Party and Adila Shaukat of the BC NDP. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026, so more candidates may be added.
Heather Maahs won the district in 2024 with 11,776 votes (54.58 percent), according to Elections BC’s statement of votes. Dan Coulter of the BC NDP, then the sitting member, received 8,125 votes (37.66 percent), and Tim Cooper of the BC Green Party received 1,187 (5.50 percent). The same statement lists a Dan Grice as an independent candidate in Chilliwack North, with 487 votes (2.26 percent). A search of the whole statement for the surname Grice found no other match.
The party’s page about him says he ran before as an independent candidate. voche.me treats the 2024 candidate and this candidate as one person because the party page and the 2024 campaign site describe the same man: a real estate and estate lawyer in the Fraser Valley, who graduated from law school in 2013, lives in Chilliwack, worked on British Columbia’s votes on electoral reform, and co-wrote a paper for Elections Canada on voting. Fraser Valley Today reported his 2024 candidacy on 2024-09-18 and his CentreBC candidacy on 2026-10-01.
The Law Society of British Columbia, which licenses lawyers in the province, lists Daniel A. Grice as practising, with a call date of July 7, 2014, at the firm Kane Shannon Weiler. The firm’s own page about him says he received his law degree from the University of Manitoba in 2013 and has worked in Abbotsford since 2014. The 2024 campaign site links to that firm page.
The party page says he has 12 years of legal experience, has received awards in tax law and belongs to a Fraser Valley tax group. It says he studied classical history and archaeology at the University of British Columbia and served in its student society. These are the party’s statements. voche.me has not checked them with the university or the groups named.
The party page says he joined CentreBC to work with Andrew Weaver and Elenore Sturko. It says he wants to speak for people who want government to focus on the economy and who are tired of populists on the left and the right. It says he supports the independence of professions and will resist government overreach while protecting the most vulnerable. The page gives no number, cost or date for any of these. voche.me has not contacted the campaign.

No 2026 campaign website, no social media account tied to this candidacy that could be read, and no interview or statement from him as a 2026 candidate were found on 2026-10-01. His site elect.dangrice.com holds only posts from September 2024, when he ran as an independent. His 2026 positions come from one page the party published on 2026-10-01, so his views on housing, health care, the cost of living, public safety, education, climate, Indigenous reconciliation and transportation as a CentreBC candidate are unknown. The party has published no 2026 election platform: its policy page says its Policy Committee is still writing its first policy areas. voche.me ties the 2024 independent candidate to this candidate through matching details on the party page and the 2024 campaign site. No single page says in words that the 2024 Chilliwack North candidate and the CentreBC candidate are the same person. The party’s statements about his awards in tax law, his tax group membership, his degree from the University of British Columbia, his student society role, his work on the electoral reform votes and his paper for Elections Canada have not been checked with the bodies that would know. An X account named Daniel Grice showed a sign-in page with no readable posts. A LinkedIn profile under his name could not be read without signing in, and a Facebook page under the same name is tied to this candidacy by no page voche.me read. Nothing from them is used. A 2024 candidate survey by Advocacy Canada could not be read by a direct request on 2026-10-01. His 2024 YouTube videos were not watched. All-candidates meetings in the district, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Research status
## What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-01: the Elections BC candidate list and key dates page, the 2024 statement of votes, the CentreBC candidate, Our Team, policy and news pages, the party’s page about him, the party’s 100 newest public Bluesky posts, two Fraser Valley Today reports, his 2024 campaign site, his 2024 VoteMate profile, a 2024 Fraser Valley Current candidate questionnaire, the Law Society of British Columbia lawyer directory, his law firm’s page, the BC Ballot candidate list, and web searches for his name with the district, the party, 2026 and MLA.
His 2026 positions come from one page the party published about him on 2026-10-01. His 2024 positions are listed as material from an earlier campaign, because no 2026 page repeats them. The party’s statements about his studies and awards have not been checked with the bodies that would know. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
