Meet Bella

Life in Victoria is too expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. My name is Bella Lee, and I’m running to fight rising costs. Mortgages, rents, groceries, and everyday expenses are becoming more unaffordable. We need an all-hands-on-deck approach to lowering the cost of living in our city.

As a long time resident and a renter, I have spent my career fighting to make sure no one gets left behind. We deserve a better Victoria. Better means a place where we take care of each other, where we can afford to live, where communities are thriving, and our neighbourhoods are vibrant. 

In the community, I am a board member with the Greater Victoria Placemaking Network and Capital Bike, organizations that advocate for community spaces and infrastructure for the people of Victoria. The best parts of my week are volunteering with the Victoria Chinatown Lionesses Club, mentoring with Girl Guides of Canada, and serving food at Our Place, because I believe that showing up matters. 

As someone who has experience in the community and in politics, I know that I have what it takes to fight and win. I’ve run and won campaigns to lower your costs and to make life better in our city: 

  • Advocated for other municipalities in the CRD to take on their share of costs for the homelessness crisis facing our City and region. 

  • Successfully campaigned for free contraception for British Columbians with Access BC, saving people and government money every year.  

  • Championed the referendum for a new pool in our city with Let’s Get Crystal Clear, to save a vital community amenity. 

We can build a city for everyone. We can create a better Victoria.
