Burnaby North’s choice on the hospital tower: Janet Routledge or Simon Chandler

Burnaby North chooses between Janet Routledge, the BC NDP MLA since 2017, and Simon Chandler, the Conservative candidate who grew up in Burnaby Heights. The riding’s biggest local question is Burnaby Hospital’s 160-bed tower and cancer centre, approved in 2023 and paused in February. Here is where each stands, in their own words, followed by the record and our view. 338Canada projects a five-point race.

Backcountry Coalition ·

On a Sunday in late May, a crowd gathered in Avondale Park, a short walk from Burnaby Hospital. Dr. David Jones, a physician who has worked at the hospital since 1975, told them that even with its new pavilion open, the hospital had not added beds since the 1970s. Burnaby has 0.58 hospital beds for every 1,000 residents, he said, against a Canadian average of 2.6, and by 2032 the figure is projected to fall to 0.41. “That to me is dangerous,” he said.1

The people in the park wanted one thing: Phase 2 of the hospital’s redevelopment, a 12-storey tower with 160 private rooms and a new BC Cancer centre. The province had approved it in 2023. Robert Bruno, the treasurer of the Burnaby Hospital & Community Foundation, told the crowd that the community had raised more than $55 million for the redevelopment. In February, Premier David Eby’s government had paused it.12

Burnaby North has had the same MLA since 2017. Janet Routledge of the BC NDP is asking its voters for a fourth term on 24 October. Her Conservative challenger is Simon Chandler, who grew up in Burnaby Heights and lives in Brentwood.34 In our view, the hospital is the plainest test of what nine years of Routledge have delivered for this riding, and the record below shows how she met it.

Before the record, here is what each of them says they would do.

Simon ChandlerConservative Party of BC

Janet RoutledgeBC NDP, incumbent

The top issue

“Affordability. Families in North Burnaby are stretched…”5
“My constituents raise a range of issues related to affordability and healthcare… they are very concerned about seniors’ care.” She points to 16 new long-term care homes built and 21 more in progress.6

The hospital tower

“A Conservative government will get the 160-bed tower and cancer centre back on track and built.”5
“We’ve already committed $210 million to expand emergency and surgical units, soon to be followed by cancer care and acute care.”6

Taxes

“A Conservative Party of British Columbia government will raise the basic personal amount from $13,216 to $32,000.”5
“To pay for the care that everyone deserves, we’re asking the top 4% of earners to pay a little more.”6

Their record

Infantry soldier in the Canadian Army Reserve, three years as a Community Police Volunteer, and an accountant. He has not held office.45
MLA since 2017; Parliamentary Secretary for Labour, where her campaign says she “played a leadership role in legislating employment rights for gig workers”; three decades with the Public Service Alliance of Canada.7

Where they stand, in their own words, from their answers to Freshet News’s candidate questions of 16 October 2026 and their campaign biographies. Conservative on the left, NDP on the right, as on our cards.

01 Janet Routledge called the hospital tower “great news” in 2023. In February her government paused it.

In September 2023 the province approved the business plan for Phase 2. Its news release described a 12-storey tower with 160 private rooms, a new BC Cancer centre with 31 chemotherapy chairs and space for five linear accelerators, and an emergency department expanded to 104 treatment spaces. Construction was planned to start in 2025, with completion anticipated in 2030, at a cost of about $1.7 billion.2 The release carried a quotation from Burnaby North’s MLA.

“Approval of Phase 2 for the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment is great news for people in Burnaby and across the Lower Mainland. The increased capacity and facilities of the new tower will bring strong health-care support and services for patients and for health-care professionals into the future.”

Janet Routledge, MLA for Burnaby NorthProvince of British Columbia news release, 13 September 20232

In June 2024 the province signed an alliance agreement with Fraser Health, BC Cancer, PCL Constructors Westcoast, Parkin Architects and Infrastructure BC to design and build it.8 Then came Budget 2026. In February the province announced that it was “re-pacing” Phase 2 to manage a deficit of about $13 billion, and it gave no new start date.910 Mike Hurley, the mayor of Burnaby, wrote to residents that they had been promised Phase 2 “would follow immediately after Phase 1,” and that “this was a strong promise that has not been kept.”11

Bowinn Ma, the Minister of Infrastructure, said updated cost estimates had come in “significantly” over the $1.8-billion budget. Kristy James, the president and CEO of the hospital foundation, said Fraser Health had briefed the foundation in January on a plan that fit inside that budget; the ministry said no revised estimate within the budget had been submitted.9 At the end of April the province cancelled the alliance contract.810 James put it this way:

“We have been consistently reassured by our Burnaby MLAs and [Infrastructure] Minister [Bowinn] Ma that this project is not cancelled — but a terminated contract with no confirmed start date sounds like a cancellation.”

Kristy James, president and CEO, Burnaby Hospital & Community Foundationto Freshet News, 29 April 20268

A Burnaby reader, Ken Pett, wrote to Freshet News that spring: “Now, when we need the support of our Burnaby MLAs, they have all gone silent.”12 In the coverage of the pause and the cancelled contract that we read, from February to September, we found no public comment from Routledge.13

02 The budget that paused the tower passed on a tie, and Janet Routledge voted for it.

On 26 February the legislature voted on the budget motion, which the Speaker described as a matter of confidence. The vote was 46 to 46, and the Speaker broke the tie in the government’s favour. Routledge voted yes.1415 Had any one of the 46 voted the other way, the budget motion would have failed.

The budget motion, 26 February 2026

46Yea, BC NDP
46Nay, opposition

The Speaker broke the tie, and the motion carried.

Janet Routledge voted yea.14

The same budget raised the lowest provincial income-tax rate from 5.06% to 5.60%, on the first $50,363 of taxable income from 2026. It also raised the basic personal credits by the same percentage, which the government says offsets the increase in full or in part for many taxpayers.16 The bill that carried that change, Bill 2, passed third reading on 1 April, again by 46 votes to 46 on the Speaker’s vote. Routledge voted yes again.1715

In our view, a vote that passes on a tie is a vote every member owns. Routledge welcomed the tower when it was announced. When her government paused it, the budget needed every one of its 46 votes, and hers was one of them.

03 A month before the vote, the government came back with $210 million for the emergency and surgical units and no date for the tower.

On 21 September, the day before the campaign began, Ma announced a renewed plan. The province would spend $210 million to expand the emergency department, with 16 more treatment spaces, and to renew the surgical unit, both inside the hospital’s existing support facilities building. Procurement is to be completed in early 2027, followed by design and construction. For the tower and the cancer centre, the province said only that it was “advancing plans.”181920

The 2023 plan had the tower finished in 2030.2 The September plan gives it no date at all.19 In our view, a renovation now and a promise later is not the hospital Burnaby was told it would get.

This month Freshet News asked every Burnaby candidate whether they would see Phase 2 completed. Routledge answered:

“Burnaby MLAs have worked closely with the Minister of Health and Burnaby City Council and stakeholders to ensure Phase 2 is completed. We’ve already committed $210 million to expand emergency and surgical units, soon to be followed by cancer care and acute care.”

Janet Routledgeto Freshet News, 16 October 20266

Her answer gives no date for the tower. Her answer to the next question, on how cities will pay for the infrastructure that growth demands, is word for word the answer given by Rohini Arora, the BC NDP MLA for Burnaby East.621 Chandler’s answer to the hospital question was this:

“Yes. Burnaby is the third-largest city in BC, and its hospital has one of the lowest bed counts in the province. The NDP paused Phase 2 in Budget 2026, then cancelled the construction contract, after this community raised more than $55 million toward it. A Conservative government will get the 160-bed tower and cancer centre back on track and built.”

Simon Chandlerto Freshet News, 16 October 20265

04 Online, Janet Routledge limited who could reply to her and answered none of the comments we read.

During the campaign we checked who could reply to the posts of every BC NDP candidate. On six of Routledge’s 31 campaign posts on Facebook, the setting read: “Only people who follow this Page for more than 24 hours can comment.” That set her among the BC NDP candidates in our count of who silenced voters online.22

We also read what she said back. Under 16 of her Facebook and Instagram posts we read 67 comments and found no reply from her. On X, all 45 items on her account during the campaign were reposts of other accounts. On our four-measure rating of the 41 BC NDP incumbents running again, she received an F and ranked 40th of 41.23

In our view, an MLA who wants a fourth term should be answering the people who ask her questions, and the hospital is the first question most of them would ask.

05 Simon Chandler grew up in Burnaby Heights, served in the Army Reserve, and says the tower will be built.

Portrait: Conservative Party of BC

Chandler has called North Burnaby home for 15 years. He grew up in Burnaby Heights, went from army cadet to infantry soldier in the Canadian Army Reserve, and spent three years as a Community Police Volunteer, which his party says showed him the challenges officers face in responding to the drug crisis.4 He studied accounting at Trinity Western University and good governance at the Laurentian Leadership Centre in Ottawa, then worked in public practice accounting before moving into mortgage lending.54 Outside work, his party says, he hikes, rafts whitewater and camps along the Squamish River.4

This is his second run. In 2024 he was the Conservative candidate in neighbouring Burnaby East and took 8,198 votes, 40.5% of the total.2425 He told Burnaby Now then why he was running:

“As a life-long British Columbian, I have witnessed the steep decline of our beautiful province with regards to our healthcare system, lack of crime enforcement, and the unaffordability of our province.”

Simon Chandlerto Burnaby Now, 8 October 202424

He has never held office, so there is no voting record to weigh. What he has put on the record this campaign is short and specific. On affordability he told Freshet News that “the NDP made it worse this year by raising the income tax rate on every working British Columbian’s first dollar earned,” and that a Conservative government would raise the basic personal amount to $32,000. On housing he said the province had handed cities targets “without fixing the permitting delays that drive up costs and stall projects.”5 Here is how that sets against Routledge’s record.

Welcomed it as “great news” in 2023, then voted for the budget that paused it. Her answer this month gives no date for the tower.2146

Simon Chandler · the hospital tower

“A Conservative government will get the 160-bed tower and cancer centre back on track and built.”5

Janet Routledge · income tax

“Your first $32,000 will be free of provincial income tax.”5

Janet Routledge · answering voters

Limited replies on six of 31 Facebook campaign posts, and answered none of the 67 comments we read.2223

Simon Chandler · what he wants to fix

“Serious times like these call for strong leadership, not more taxes.”5

06 Burnaby North is within reach, and Simon Chandler is the only challenger who can take it.

338Canada, which turns the published polls into a projection for every riding, rates Burnaby North as leaning BC NDP. Its update of 16 October puts Routledge at 49% and Chandler at 44%, each with a margin of eight points either way, so the two ranges overlap.26

Jenny Yamagata of OneBC is projected at 4%, and Maddy Kennedy-Parrott of the BC Greens at 3%.263 Only Chandler is within the projection’s margin of the lead.

The last result shows how small the gap is. In 2024 Routledge held the riding by 2,066 votes over the Conservative candidate, Michael Wu, 10,724 to 8,658. If about 1,034 of her voters had chosen the Conservative instead, the seat would have changed hands.27

In our view, Simon Chandler is the candidate in Burnaby North who has put the tower first.

07 Dr. David Jones has worked at Burnaby Hospital since 1975. The tower he asked for still has no date.

Advance voting runs until 21 October, and Final Voting Day is 24 October.20 Elections BC’s Where to Vote app shows every voting place in the riding.

In May, Dr. Jones stood in Avondale Park and urged his neighbours to “band together, work together, write letters, phone, go to meetings” and to demand that Phase 2 be finished.1 Five months later the tower has no start date, and the MLA who called it great news voted for the budget that paused it. The next thing Burnaby North can do is vote.

She called it great news, then voted for the budget that paused it. He says he will get it built. In our view, that is the choice in Burnaby North.

In 2023 Janet Routledge called Burnaby Hospital’s new tower “great news.” Simon Chandler says he will get it built. That is Burnaby North’s choice on 24 October.

Janet Routledge, the BC NDP MLA since 2017, voted for the February budget that paused the 160-bed tower and cancer centre. It passed 46 to 46 on the Speaker’s vote, and in April the construction contract was cancelled. The September plan spends $210 million on the emergency and surgical units and gives the tower no date.

Dr. David Jones, a physician at Burnaby Hospital since 1975, told a May rally that Burnaby has 0.58 hospital beds for every 1,000 residents. In our view, Simon Chandler is the candidate in Burnaby North who has put the tower first.
