He led the on-campus fossil fuel divestment campaign from 2012 to 2016, and has been actively involved with different environmental groups over the years, including sitting on the Board of Directors for Wildsight Golden and serving as the Coordinator of Wildsight Golden’s Climate Action Taskforce.

“For years, I’ve been frustrated by the lack of political action by our leaders to address the biggest challenge of our time – the climate crisis,” Beauchesne said.

“We need more people in government who understand the urgency of the situation and are willing to act accordingly. That’s why I am running for the B.C. Green Party. They are the only party challenging the status quo, championing strong climate action and progressive social policies, and fighting for economic justice.”

Beauchesne currently works as the air quality coordinator for Wildsight Golden and the electric vehicle car share coordinator for Golden Community Resources Society.

The next provincial election is scheduled for October 2024.
