Leaders from the 203 nations in the province will vote for a new regional chief when the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations (BCAFN) holds its elections in Vancouver on June 25.

Among the early candidates (nominations closed on May 26) was former Snuneymuxw chief Doug White III who declared his candidacy via Twitter on May 9.

Weeks earlier, Chief Bob Chamberlin of Kwicksutaineuk Ah-kwa-mish First Nation announced his candidacy, accompanied by his partner, lawyer Melissa Louie of Sliammon.
