Ed Vanwoudenberg

Edward John Vanwoudenberg is a Canadian minor-party politician, and was head of the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, from the party's founding convention in 1987 to 1991. The party promotes an explicitly Christian approach to political issues, especially through its opposition to abortion and same-sex marriage. The CHP has never won a seat in the Canadian House of Commons.

Vanwoudenberg was succeeded by Charles Cavilla. Vanwoudenberg is now the president of the British Columbia chapter of the party. From 1991 to 1994, he served as the Executive Director, and from 1994 to 1998, he served as the party's vice-president. He is now the president of the party's British Columbia provincial council.

He lives in Hope, British Columbia.

Vanwoudenberg ran in the Canadian federal elections of 1988, 1993 and 2000.
