Born and raised in beautiful Fernie, British Columbia, Steven Maffioli spent his twenties living and working in downtown Calgary, where he began volunteering with the Green Party of Canada and the Green Party of Alberta.

He dedicated his time to multiple campaigns before officially joining the Alberta Greens as a candidate for Calgary-Glenmore in the 2023 provincial election. During his time in Calgary, he also worked with several local organizations to raise awareness about pollution and Canada’s affordable housing crisis.

After moving back home to British Columbia, Steven decided to pursue his passion for wellness and became a certified yoga instructor through the Vancouver School of Healing Arts. Between election cycles and campaigns, he is working toward becoming a naturopath and hopes to integrate more holistic healers and practitioners into Canada’s healthcare system.

Steven is deeply passionate about voter reform. Since his first campaign, he has consistently championed the cause, keeping the conversation alive at the doors and on the campaign trail. If elected, he will work tirelessly to build cross-party support for replacing Canada’s flawed first-past-the-post system with a voting process that better represents the interests of Canadians.

Steven promises to serve his community with poise, professionalism, and a spirit of non-partisanship.

“I’m running in this election to put my community and its interests first. Above all else, I’m willing to work with anyone to achieve real results for the people of the Elk Valley—setting aside petty politics and personal biases to get things done.”
