The BC Action Party is a defunct minor political party in British Columbia that advocated for fiscal responsibility. [4]

It nominated six candidates in the 2001 British Columbia election. These candidates won 1,718 votes (1.31% of the total in the ridings in which they ran). BCAP candidates ran in ridings in Okanagan, Kelowna and Surrey, and placed last in all six ridings. The party's best showing was in Okanagan Westside, where its candidate won 921 votes (4.4% of the total). The party was de-registered by Elections BC on February 24, 2003. [5]

A new party with the same name was registered on October 18, 2013. [6] It nominated two candidates in the 2017 provincial election, neither of whom was elected. [7] It ran no candidates in the 2020 provincial election.

The party again ran no candidates in the 2024 provincial election and was deregistered by Elections BC on November 12, 2024. [8]
