About
Salvatore Vetro is the OneBC candidate for Vancouver-South Granville in the October 24, 2026 provincial election, listed on Elections BC’s October 2, 2026 candidate report. His OneBC profile describes him as a HandyDART driver for 25 years, a co-founder of the Kitsilano Showers Program (a weekly service for unhoused neighbours it says has run for more than 20 years), a participant in the 2011 Fight HST campaign, and the operator for about 20 years of a small business that supported local artists and shops. News coverage has called him a retired HandyDART driver and local actor, financial agent for Bill Vander Zalm’s anti-HST campaign ahead of the 2011 referendum, and founder in 2010 of the BC First Party, which did not elect candidates. In 2020 he ran as an Independent in Vancouver-Kensington and finished fourth with 202 votes (about 1%). In January 2023 Elections BC approved his recall petition against Premier David Eby in Vancouver-Point Grey; like other modern B.C. recall petitions, it did not remove the MLA.
