Caroline and her husband, Craig, chose to build their lives on the North Shore a decade ago, and live in the riding of West Vancouver-Capilano. Their two young children were born at Lions Gate Hospital and attend preschool and grade one in the riding.  

As former Vice-President of BC United, and as a regular commentator on Global TV, CKNW, CBC, and in provincial and national publications, Caroline has long been a strong advocate for a principled, outcomes-based approach to governance that looks beyond the four-year election cycle to the next generation and the one after that.

As a commentator and PhD Candidate at SFU in the field of democratic theory and Canadian government, Caroline has been unafraid to take on tough issues. This has included advocating for a thriving, responsible natural resource sector and a strong private sector-driven economy that not only creates good jobs, but that also pays for the first-class public services British Columbians expect and deserve.

In her years at BC Hydro, Caroline helped advance the Site C project as a source of clean energy critical to meeting B.C.’s electricity needs while achieving B.C.’s climate goals. Through her own consulting firm, she has supported a wide range of clients, from the electricity and forestry sectors to large infrastructure projects and more. Early in her career, Caroline was a ministerial staffer at the B.C. Legislature.

As BC United’s West Vancouver-Capilano candidate, Caroline will continue to stand up for policies that will take less of British Columbians’ hard-earned money and use it better, rather than leaving our debts for our kids to pay off. She will fight for health care that is there for this generation and the next. And she will stand up for commuters by refusing to leave the North Shore in gridlock, getting started on infrastructure today that will serve for decades to come.

Caroline is running because it is wrong for the NDP to expect British Columbians to just accept worsening outcomes as normal. She is putting her name on the ballot because it is time for a government that gets back to getting the basics right.
