Two New Mayors Rise in Victoria | Vancouver News

Two fresh faces are stepping into the mayoral race in Greater Victoria: Pat Bryant, a veteran police officer with 20 years in Central Saanich, and 26-year-old Samuel Holland, a recent grad running against the incumbent in Oak Bay. Both elections hit the ballot on October 17th. Holland, driven by a desire for change, champions affordability, climate action, and community safety — including a bold plan to tackle doctor shortages with municipally backed clinics. Bryant, focused on accountability and public trust, brings his law enforcement experience to prioritize road safety, youth-friendly development, and stronger ties with local First Nations. With nominations opening soon, these newcomers aim to shake up their towns with new ideas — and voters will soon decide if they’re ready for a change.
