About Councillor Carr

Biography

Councillor Adriane Carr was re-elected in 2018 for her third term on Vancouver City Council.

Born in Vancouver, Councillor Carr earned a master's degree in urban geography under David Ley and Walter Hardwick from UBC in 1980, writing her thesis on the role of citizen groups in building community spirit and shaping development in the neighbourhood of Kitsilano.

Councillor Carr taught for 12 years at Vancouver's Langara College, serving on the Langara Faculty Association Board and, for several years, as chair of the department of interdisciplinary studies. In 1989, she left teaching to join the executive team at Western Canada Wilderness Committee, a group founded by her husband, helping it grow into one of Canada's largest membership-based conservation groups.

Councillor Carr is Vancouver’s first Green Party City Councillor. From 2000 to 2006 she served as BC Green Party Leader, a party she co-founded in 1983, and from 2006 to 2014 as Deputy Leader to federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May.

Councillor Carr has two adult children and lives in Vancouver's West End with her husband Paul George. She has co-chaired the Canadian Women Voters' Congress non-partisan Women's Campaign School since 2009.
