Premier Gordon Campbell confirmed on CKNW that the by-elections will not be called during the federal election. From CKNW:

Premier Gordon Campbell says he won’t call two by-elections in two BC ridings until after the federal election on October 14th.

Campbell says he would have called the by-elections for Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Burrard but decided to hold off once the federal election was announced.

I will guess he will hold off until after the municipal cycle, so probably a December 2008 vote. Just imagine if you’re a resident in one of those ridings - you will be experiencing four elections in less than 7 months.
