Following a decades-long career in community development, advocacy, and communications, supporting small businesses, arts organizations, nonprofits, and social development, Pete Fry was elected to Vancouver City Council in 2018.
As a City Councillor, Pete has chaired the Auditor General Committee and served on the boards of Metro Vancouver, Vancouver Public Library, and the National Zero Waste Council.
