About
Our Legacy
The BC Green Caucus was officially formed following the 2017 provincial election, when the BC Green Party elected three members to the legislature, marking a historic milestone as the party gained official caucus status for the first time. This achievement elevated the Green Party’s role in provincial governance and laid the groundwork for significant contributions to legislative priorities in BC.
One of the caucus’s early defining moments was the 2017 Confidence and Supply Agreement (CASA) with the BC NDP government. Through this agreement, the BC Green Caucus influenced key policy areas, including climate action, housing affordability, and democratic reform.
In 2025 the caucus entered the Cooperation and Responsible Government Accord (CARGA) with the BC NDP government. Through this agreement, the BC Green Caucus took action on healthcare, affordability and climate policy. The caucus terminated the CARGA agreement in 2026, when the BC NDP failed to fulfill their Year One commitments.
The BC Green Caucus continues to advocate for evidence-based initiatives in renewable energy, environmental protection, social well-being and Indigenous justice, while holding the government accountable to the people of British Columbia.

Why is the BC Green Caucus sometimes called the Third Party?
In the BC Legislature, members are referred to by their constituency, not by their name or political affiliation. This prioritizes those who matter most, British Columbians. The Party with the most seats is referred to as the Government, second-most seats is the Official Opposition, and the BC Green Caucus is referred to as the Third Party.
