It says she completed a Bachelor of Arts in Gender, Race, Sexuality and Social Justice and a Master of Science in Nursing at the University of British Columbia in 2022, and that her graduate research, titled Nurse Angélique, examined connections between the early colonial history of Canadian nursing and more than 400 years of Black history in Canada. voche.me has not checked her nursing work, degrees or research with the employer, the university or a nursing regulator.
The page quotes her: “As a nurse, I see how climate change threatens the wellbeing of our communities. It must be recognized for the public health emergency that it is.” It adds that she believes climate policy must also consider equity, justice and the well-being of communities.

Check the evidence
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No campaign website of her own is linked from the party's page, and the addresses kyraforhastings.ca, kyraforbc.ca and philbertforhastings.ca did not answer on 2026-10-03. A personal website under the same name exists. It does not mention this candidacy, so voche.me could not tie it to her and used nothing from it. The party's page links only to the party's own Facebook, Instagram and X accounts, and voche.me found no personal account tied to this candidacy, so no social media post is used. The web search tool had no searches left, so the name search used public search pages. DuckDuckGo showed a verification check, Brave returned HTTP 429, and Bing and Google returned nothing about her. A search of the party's own site for her surname returned only her candidate page and the candidates list. The first page of the party's media releases, dated September 25 to October 2, 2026, does not name her, and older releases were not read. Her nursing career, her UBC degrees and her graduate research come from the party's page only and were not checked with a nursing regulator, an employer or the university. The research itself was not opened. The page is undated and carries no events, and the party's events page listed none in Vancouver-Hastings on 2026-10-03. Her own words appear only in one quoted passage of two sentences, so every other commitment here is party text. The party plan page says nothing about her, and its platform may be updated, so the party items here need a new check after any update. The 2025 federal results and the 2020 provincial results were not searched for her name. VoteMate, campaign finances and endorsements were not reviewed. The questionnaire has not been sent.

The party's candidate page is the only source found that describes her, and it is the campaign's own account.
No campaign website of her own, no social media account tied to this candidacy and no news report about her were found. The party's events page listed no event in Vancouver-Hastings. The sections below hold what was found, and each blank one records that nothing was found on this date.
