Bernier has been outspoken against lockdown measures, masks and vaccine passports during the COVID-19 pandemic.
He last visited the BC Interior in 2019 while campaigning for the PPC during the federal election.
The right-wing party was started by Bernier after he quit the federal Conservative party.
The PPC ran candidates in 315 of the country's 328 ridings in the 2019 election, winning 1.6% of the vote nationally.
During the election, Bernier lost his seat in the House of Commons after failing to win his riding in Beauce, Quebec, which he had held since 2006.
