Benjamin Perry grew up in Coquitlam and has raised his family here. For more than a decade, he has been actively involved in community organizations, advocacy and local issues across the city.

Benjamin brings years of experience in non-profit governance and finance, public policy and government relations. His service has included the Health Sciences Association of BC’s Policy and Governance Committee, the Tri-Cities Pride Society, and the City of Coquitlam’s Universal Accessibility Committee. Professionally, he works in health care supporting children and families.

Benjamin has also been deeply involved in community organizing, working with Force of Nature Alliance since 2015 and helping to found Food Not Bombs Tri-Cities. Through this work and his 2022 campaign for Council, he has spoken with tens of thousands of Coquitlam residents about the issues that matter to them. That engagement has given him a strong understanding of what residents expect from their city government.

Benjamin is running to bring practical, independent leadership to City Hall. He will work full-time as a Councillor to put the needs of Coquitlam residents first.
