Bachrach Stresses Climate Action and Job Creation in Northwest BC

Taylor Bachrach, NDP candidate for Skeena–Bulkley Valley, linked climate action to economic opportunity during his appearance at the Kitimat forum. He emphasized the need for investment in renewable energy and clean technology, arguing that the region’s skilled workforce can help lead the country’s transition away from fossil fuels. Bachrach pointed to his party’s support for major green infrastructure projects, promising good-paying jobs while reducing emissions. He also highlighted ongoing NDP efforts in Parliament to push for stronger environmental regulations and protections for Indigenous lands. Bachrach acknowledged challenges in balancing environmental concerns with local industries but insisted sustainable development can create long-term prosperity. His message focused on a vision of the Northwest as both an environmental leader and economic driver, with government support needed to ensure communities benefit from the shift to a green economy. With affordability, jobs, and climate among the top concerns for voters, Bachrach framed the NDP as the only party serious about addressing all three.
