British Columbia's main party leaders are spending much of their day together, starting with a debate on the radio and moving on to a Greater Vancouver Board of Trade event to speak with business leaders.

NDP Leader David Eby, B.C. Conservative Leader John Rustad and Green Party Leader Sonia Furstenau will spend an hour debating on CKNW in Vancouver before moving on to the business event.

The board of trade says it also plans to release a 2024 provincial election survey of both its members and the general public.

It comes as Rustad has been told by a campaign that works to end violence against women that organizers are withdrawing their permission for him to wear a moose hide pin meant to show support.

Moose Hide Campaign co-founder Raven Lacerte says in a letter that elected leaders have a unique level of responsibility to uphold basic standards of respect, "including respect for Indigenous Peoples and those along the gender continuum," and that Rustad is "not upholding these standards."

The Conservative campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the letter.
