West Vancouver and North Vancouver federal Liberals are poised to select their challengers for the 2015 election.

West Vancouver-Sunshine Coast-Sea to Sky Country Liberals are holding their Gibsons and West Vancouver candidate selection meetings on Sunday. Roughly 800 members will choose between former West Vancouver mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones and Gibsons business owner Robert Cannon-Brown. The winner will face incumbent Conservative John Weston and a yet-to-be-chosen NDP candidate.

North Vancouver Liberals will have four names to choose from on their ballot during a June 20 nomination meeting. B.C. Securities Commission lawyer Neil Cave, activist and communications professional Marjan Jamsaz, Earthvoice Strategies president and yoga instructor Mark Pezarro and BioteQ Environmental Technologies' former CE O Jonathan Wilkinson are all seeking to take on Conservative Andrew Saxton.

The New Democrats have also not yet named their candidates in the riding.

No date has been set for a nomination in the North Shore's newest riding Burnaby North-Seymour. Burnaby's Daren Hancott and District of North Vancouver Coun. Mike Little have each put their names name forward for the riding's Tory nomination.
