Pete Fry is a Vancouver City Councillor, elected in 2018 with the Green Party. Since immigrating to Canada as a child, he has lived in Vancouver where he has run several successful small businesses, and worked and volunteered in community development with some of the City’s most vulnerable populations.
With a keen interest in circular systems and creating a lighter footprint, Pete’s first foray into local governance was Vancouver’s long-defunct Dog Strategy Task force in 2006 where he unsuccessfully tried to promote more responsible disposal of pet waste. Today, he chairs the Health and Social Development Committee at the Union of BC Municipalities, and the nascent Reuse working group at the National Zero Waste Council, where he also serves as a director. He also chairs Vancouver’s Auditor General Committee and sits on a number of advisory committees representing renters, arts and culture, ethno-cultural identified people, and Vancouver’s City Planning Commission.
Pete lives in Vancouver’s East End with his wife of twenty five years, a dog and two cats and is still trying to promote more responsible disposal of pet waste.
