Trinity Western University graduate Trevor Halford was first elected as MLA for Surrey-White Rock in the 2020 election.
Recently, Halford was named the Official Opposition Critic for Mental Health and Addictions for B.C.
Speaking to Peace Arch News on the day of the announcement, Halford said his new role comes with a “huge responsibility.”

“It’s not forgotten for the family and friends that have lost somebody to this crisis… We need to make it an absolute top priority.”
