Make it easier to get to work
Said in the party release announcing his 2026 candidacy that it should be easier for people in Delta to get to work.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The words are from a BC NDP release quoted by the Delta Optimist. voche.me could not find the release on the party site. The statement names no route, project, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which transit or road measure in Delta South would he support, and at what cost?
At the 2024 all-candidates meeting he said the NDP would increase TransLink funding so that a $600 million shortfall would not happen, according to the Delta Optimist. In a 2024 interview he said Delta needs more bus service.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is from the 2024 campaign. No 2026 page repeats it, so it is recorded as an earlier statement and earns no point for 2026.
What still needs checking
Does he repeat a transit funding position in 2026?
No public role is on record for this candidate in the sources voche.me read, so voche.me found no voting record to review. His earlier results come from Elections BC and Elections Canada.
No reviewed entries have been added to this section yet. This is a research gap, not a finding about the candidate.

Reporting
Delta Optimist · Ian Jacques
The provincial candidates so far in Delta
Lists the candidates announced in Delta North and Delta South, reports that he ran in 2024 and federally in 2025, and quotes his statement from the party release.
Sources checked October 1, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
The BC NDP release of September 26, 2026 that announced him was not found on the party's releases page, so his 2026 statement is taken from the Delta Optimist, which quotes it. The party's campaign page links only the party's own social media accounts, and searches found no account of his own, so no post is used. His work as a TransLink bus driver and his roles in cycling and the South Delta Basketball Association are stated by the party and by his own account in interviews; voche.me has not checked them with TransLink or those groups. His 2025 federal campaign profile says he helped build the Holly Park Pump Track in Ladner; no page voche.me read ties that work to him in a way it could check, so it is left out. The Delta Optimist and the North Delta Reporter report that Ian Paton is running for the BC Conservatives and that Jim McMurtry is running for OneBC in Delta South. On the Elections BC list stamped October 1, 2026 01:00:07 PM, McCormick was the only accepted candidate in the district, and nominations close October 3. No 2026 all-candidates meeting in Delta South was found on this date. His plans for schools, reconciliation, the provincial budget and governance, his campaign finances and his endorsements were not found. The questionnaire has not been sent.
