On May 30th, 2026, members of the Conservative Party of British Columbia will choose a new party leader.

Leadership contests are not only about party politics—they are also about ideas, priorities, and competing visions for the future of the province. In the weeks leading up to the vote, candidates are outlining their plans for British Columbia, including how they see the role of municipalities and regional districts across the province.

Local governments play a central role in delivering services, managing growth, and responding to community needs, so understanding how provincial political leaders view municipal issues is an important part of the broader conversation.

Today on Municipal Affairs, we’re joined by Peter Milobar, MLA for Kamloops Centre and a candidate in the Conservative Party of British Columbia leadership race.

Before entering provincial politics, Peter served as Councillor and then Mayor of the City of Kamloops from 2002 to 2017. He also served as Chair of the Thompson-Nicola Regional District in 2011, being the first Mayor of Kamloops to hold that position.

He was first elected as an MLA in the 2017 Provincial Election in the riding of Kamloops-North Thompson, then re-elected in 2020.

We’ll discuss his background, his vision for British Columbia, and how municipalities fit into that vision as the leadership race continues.
