It’s been a very good first week for the B.C. Green party, which is experiencing growing momentum, according to the party’s campaign chair Adam Olsen.

“I think we’ve done a very good job in showing that we’re offering British Columbians a hopeful vision for the future of our province,” said Olsen, the party’s candidate for Saanich North and the Islands, in an interview Friday.

“We’re definitely gaining momentum. I certainly feel it here in southern Vancouver Island and we’ve had three polls showing us holding even with the NDP (and) tied for the lead on Vancouver Island.

“This shows that we’re not just a blip on the radar, but are holding steady.”

Olsen made the comment as Green party leader Andrew Weaver campaigned in Oay Bay-Gordon Head in Victoria on Friday, where he also plans to campaign on Saturday.

Weaver plans to stay in Victoria through the weekend and will take a break from campaigning on Easter Sunday to have a quiet family celebration.
