Sam Meyer
Langley-Walnut Grove“I am running with the BC Greens because it is vital that our elected officials advocate for the long-term interests of their constituents.”
Sam Meyer is a longtime Walnut Grove resident with a strong interest in environmental protection, social equity, arts and culture, and livable communities. He spent the first 19 years of his life in Walnut Grove and has returned to the community with a deep appreciation for the parks, creeks, riversides, and natural spaces of the Yorkson Creek and Salmon River watersheds.
Sam studied philosophy and orchestral trumpet performance at the University of British Columbia. His studies helped him develop the ability to examine complex issues, consider different perspectives, and question established assumptions.
Through his work with a Vancouver-based international broadcasting company, Sam helps amplify diverse voices and connect audiences around the world through storytelling, co-creation, and public engagement. His recent projects have highlighted local concert series, the International Day of Peace, and Climate Week NYC 2026, held alongside the United Nations General Assembly.
Sam also brings eight years of experience teaching violin and trumpet, helping students build their musical skills, confidence, and creativity. He works professionally as a musician with local orchestras, theatrical productions, events, and recording sessions, and he actively supports community arts and cultural events through volunteer work.
Having seen first-hand the effects of funding cuts to the arts, Sam wants to bring that experience into provincial conversations and advocate for the role arts and culture play in strong, connected communities. He also values accessible public services, including healthcare, education, and transportation, and believes growing communities need long-term planning that supports seniors, people with disabilities, families, and future generations.
Sam is running in Langley-Walnut Grove because he believes elected representatives should focus on the long-term interests of their communities. He wants to support the conservation of local waterways, greenspaces, and wildlife habitat while helping build communities that are walkable, bike-friendly, connected by reliable public transportation, and inclusive of the people who call them home.
Sam is grateful to live, work, and learn on the traditional and unceded territories of the q̓ʷa꞉n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), SEMYOME (Semiahmoo), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
