Surrey Now-Leader · September 28, 2026
No campaign website, party candidate page, social media account tied to this candidacy, interview or public statement from this candidate was found on 2026-10-03, so his background, his positions on every scored issue and his reasons for running are unknown. The BC Green Party's 2026 candidates page listed 33 candidates and none was for Surrey-Fleetwood. Its Surrey riding association page does not name him. The general web search tool was at its usage limit, so the name search used Google News, the BC Green Party site search and the Surrey Now-Leader site search. Bing and DuckDuckGo returned no usable results. Facebook and X need a sign-in to show a profile and LinkedIn refused the request, so nothing from them is used. Public records exist under the same name for earlier elections in this district: the 2024 statement of votes lists a Tim Binnema for the BC Green Party in Surrey-Fleetwood (1,321 votes, 6.47 percent), and the BC Green Party and the Surrey Now-Leader published pages about a Tim Binnema as the party's candidate in Surrey-Fleetwood in 2017, 2019 and 2024. No page voche.me opened states that this is the same person as the 2026 candidate, so none of it is used on this page, and his background stays blank until the campaign or the party confirms it. No portrait was found that the candidate or the party published. All-candidates meetings, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. Elections BC says it is still reviewing the nominations it received, so the list may change. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Research status
## What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list (copy stamped October 3, 2026 08:00:07 PM), the Elections BC key dates page, the 2024 statement of votes, a Surrey Now-Leader report of September 28, 2026, the BC Green Party's 2026 candidates page, its Surrey riding association page and its Our Plan page. The BC Green Party's own site search was queried for the name.
The name search was limited: the general web search tool had reached its usage limit, so the name was searched through Google News, the BC Green Party site search and the Surrey Now-Leader site search. Bing and DuckDuckGo returned no usable results. Facebook and X answered the request but need a sign-in to show a profile, and LinkedIn refused it, so none was used. No campaign website, party candidate page, readable social media post, interview or statement from this candidate was found for 2026. The party entries below are the BC Green Party's own text, and none of it names Tim Binnema. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
