Biography
She wants to make government more accountable to citizens;
its time to see our provincial leadership prioritize the day to day needs of communities and families.
Maureen Curran (she/her), was born and raised in Toronto. She attended McGill for her BSc in science and then moved to Victoria to do her Masters in Physics. She has taught Science and Math in Coquitlam for 25 years, and spent 4 years with the SFU Teacher Training Program, building sustainable and socially diverse learning communities.
Maureen has been an active community member while raising her two boys in New West. From coaching little league to chairing fundraisers for an accessible playground, participating on local cycling advocacy committees or running clubs at her school, Maureen has always worked to make a difference.
As a mom and a scientist, Maureen understands that the planetary emergency is so dangerous that we must do everything we can to prevent it. She has worked with local citizens and faith groups to protect important local forest corridors and salmon streams slated to be destroyed for a costly, dangerous tar sands pipeline. Recently she coordinated a “Climate Safe Cities” coalition that helps citizens work alongside their city councils to implement common sense policy with effective, immediate health benefits and GHG reductions.
Now her goal is to take those priorities of community needs to a provincial level and work across party lines to create a better BC: one with a healthy, sustainable and stable economy for all our children to enjoy.
Reason for running
I am tired of promises without action - we can and must do better. Lets build a better BC together.
The many crises we are facing are in fact quite linked. For too long the priorities have been backwards... instead of focusing on looking at policies that will benefit the people of BC, we have prioritized economic factors without checking that they help LOCAL working families. Sometimes an economic gain may ramp up shares for a big corporation but at the cost of cutting local jobs, lowering air quality, poisoning waterways or impacting local businesses. We need to be looking for more win-win opportunities where we can grow our economy and also IMPROVE our health, wages and long term prosperity.
I know we can do better if we give local citizens more of a say in what happens in their communities.
