Richmond, B.C. — Richmond’s political landscape is set for a major development later this month, as Alexa Loo has announced plans to make a formal mayoral announcement on Thursday, February 12.
According to an invitation shared publicly, the announcement will take place at 11:00 a.m. at Canadian Flower Winery, located at 16060 Westminster Highway. Residents, supporters, and members of the public have been invited to attend.
While Loo has not yet disclosed details of the announcement, the language and branding surrounding the event strongly suggest an official entry into the mayoral race. The timing places her announcement well ahead of the next municipal election cycle, potentially positioning her as one of the early contenders shaping the debate around Richmond’s future.
Loo has been a familiar figure in civic and community discussions, and her anticipated campaign is expected to focus on key issues facing the city — including housing affordability, public safety, transportation, economic development, and governance transparency.
The announcement comes at a time when Richmond residents are increasingly vocal about growth pressures, infrastructure needs, and the direction of city leadership. Political observers say early declarations often allow candidates to build momentum, engage voters, and define priorities before the broader field emerges.
The February 12 event is expected to draw attention from local stakeholders and signal the beginning of what could be a closely watched mayoral contest.
