"Throughout Ralph's tenure as MLA in West Vancouver and North Vancouver, he has consistently proven his commitment to our community and its residents. He understands the value of business in our area and the difficulties red tape can cause. Ralph shares my goal of investing in the future to create a positive place for new and existing businesses. This in turn provides for our youth by making the North Shore an attractive and accessible place to work and build careers."

"It is a matter of fact that Ralph Sultan has proven his commitment to this constituency. He stood up for seniors' care, lobbied successfully to raise the cut-off threshold for the Homeowners' Grant, and came to the aid of Edgemont residents outraged by a new liquor store in their neighbourhood. Ralph Sultan has shown that he cares about his community."

Secretary, Edgemont Community Association
"I went to high school and University with Ralph, he is one of the smartest men I know. He is a great asset for the government"

"In my opinion the greatest assets that Ralph brings to this job are not only his education, career achievements and solid, diversified experience; but also his positive attitude and ability to listen, ask questions and understand the depth of the concerns. He has a genuine desire to help. It has been a pleasure dealing with him in matters relating to the local Iranian-Canadian community."

"On hebalf of the BC & Yukon Chamber of Mines Board of Directors, we would like to acknowledge Ralph Sultan for his dedicated work as an MLA and more specifically as Chair of the Mining Task Force. The Mining Task Force Report, the result of hard work and extensive consultation throughout the province by Ralph Sultan and the 14 members of the Mining Task Force, formed the foundation of the BC Mining Plan. The Mining Plan provides a ten-year vision for mineral exploration and mining and will secure a strong, sustainable mineral exploration and mining industry in BC.
Mineral exploration and mining are sustainable, safe, and environmentally sound, and make a significant positive economic contribution to BC. British Columbia has world class environmental standards, significant untapped geology and world class mineral exploration and mining expertise. We genuinely appreciate that the provincial government has played a key role in the resurgence and sustainability of our sector and supports a healthy and vibrant mineral exploration and mining sector in our province."

"Ralph Sultan is one of the hardest working MLAs I have ever known. He had a genuine desire to serve his community and listen to his constituents. Witness his efforts to engage the community at streetcorners and shopping malls. Having perhaps the smallest part of his constituency in the District of North Vancouver, he …has actually and demonstrably acted as a conduit to Victoria. I endorse his candidacy with all my heart and soul."
Alan Nixon
Councillor
District of North Vancouver
“Ralph Sultan has the capacity to get his MIND around complex issues, such as Venture Capital programs, and understand them THOROUGHLY.”
