Annette Reilly, Bridget Burns, Camil Dumont, and Stephanie Smith to join Pete Fry’s team for City Hall

VANCOUVER, B.C., MAY 11, 2026 — Members of the Green Party of Vancouver have selected Annette Reilly, Bridget Burns, Camil Dumont, and Stephanie Smith as the party’s nominated candidates for Vancouver City Council in the 2026 municipal election.

The four candidates will join Councillor Pete Fry, who is running for Mayor, as part of his Green team focused on affordability, climate action, accountable governance, and putting people back at the centre of City Hall.

The nominated candidates bring a wide range of experience in housing advocacy, environmental stewardship, community organizing, labour, public service, and the arts.

Annette Reilly is an award-winning filmmaker, health advocate, and community organizer. Bridget Burns is a longtime political organizer with deep experience in campaigns and small business communities. Camil Dumont is a former Vancouver Park Board Chair and urban agriculture leader focused on environmental stewardship and public space. Stephanie Smith is a housing and labour activist who has spent decades supporting tenants and advancing social and economic justice.

“This is an very strong team,” said Pete Fry. “Each of these candidates brings real world experience, deep community roots, and a commitment to practical solutions that improve people’s lives. I’m excited to work alongside them to build a City Hall that is more accountable, more collaborative, and more focused on the everyday challenges people are facing.”

The Green Party of Vancouver enters the 2026 election with a clear mandate: unite progressives, restore transparency to City Hall, and deliver real solutions on housing affordability, climate, and community well-being, after years of closed-door decisions that have put insider priorities ahead of the people who actually live here.

“Our members overwhelmingly supported the unity agreement because people understand the stakes in this election,” said Green Party of Vancouver Chair Nick Poppell. “At the same time, we’ve heard clear concerns from both members and voters that the progressive parties are still running too many candidates. That’s why we made the decision to nominate four City Council candidates at this time, rather than the five permitted under the agreement.”

“Pete Fry has consistently demonstrated an ability to work across party lines and bring people together, and collaboration is a core Green principle,” Poppell added. “Those are exactly the conversations we’ll be bringing into July’s negotiations with the other progressive parties as we make the case that Pete is the strongest Mayoral choice to unite progressive voters, defeat Ken Sim, and restore accountability to City Hall.”

“People are looking for a City Council that listens, explains its decisions clearly, and follows through with results,” Fry added. “This team reflects that grounded, community-focused approach, and is ready to do the work.”
