VICTORIA 鈥� A British Columbia municipal police department is investigating the campaign finances of West Vancouver Mayor Mark Sager.
Elections 小蓝视频 issued a statement saying a compliance review of Sager's 2022 campaign financing disclosure report identified "potential spending irregularities."
Elections 小蓝视频 says it contacted the RCMP, who referred the file to the Port Moody Police Department for investigation.
Port Moody Police, in a statement, confirms it has been engaged by Elections 小蓝视频 to conduct an investigation, but could not provide further details.
Elections 小蓝视频, a non-partisan office of the 小蓝视频 legislature responsible for conducting provincial and local elections, by-elections, petitions, referendums and plebiscites, says when it identifies potential contravention of legislation, it can conduct its own investigation or forward the file to a law enforcement partner.
Sager was not immediately available for comment.
