Adam Walker is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2020 British Columbia general election.[2] He represents the electoral district of Parksville-Qualicum as an Independent.[3][4]

Born in Comox, British Columbia, Walker grew up in Qualicum Beach, where he operated a technology business.[1] He was elected Qualicum Beach town councillor in the 2018 municipal election.[5][6] After being acclaimed as the BC NDP candidate for Parksville-Qualicum in October 2020,[7] he went on to defeat the incumbent BC Liberal member of the Legislative Assembly Michelle Stilwell in that month's provincial election to become the riding's new representative.[8] He resigned his town council seat in November 2020,[9] and was named Parliamentary Secretary for the New Economy by Premier John Horgan in the same month.[10]

On December 7, 2022 he was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Sustainable Economy by Premier David Eby.[11]

He was dismissed from his position as a Parliamentary Secretary and removed from the BC NDP caucus following an internal investigation.[12]
