I’m proud to be a Port Moody native, the best city in the World !
I grew up here and deeply cherish the City’s history, so it is an honour for me to help lead Port Moody into the future.
Like you, I love Port Moody and that’s why I continue to advocate for a strong community that embraces change and remains the most amazing city.
I served on Port Moody Council for 13 years - Councillor from 2005-2011 and Mayor from 2011-2018. I am proud to have a led a Council and Staff team that delivered many community enhancements and planned responsibly for the future, and the work that I did in the region with our neighbouring municipalities.
I am committed to a livable, accessible city with vibrant public spaces, healthy neighbourhoods, sustainable mobility, a diverse and resilient local economy, and an affordable housing market. And to celebrate our Arts and Culture and support our designation as 'City of the Arts'.
The world is changing at a rapid rate, and I believe strongly that it is important to embrace change, not deny it, and to move forward !

In the Community
Don’t Make Me Mad!
Paparazzi everywhere. Who wouldn’t want to interview the Hulk (also known as the Mayor) at one of the fun-filled events around town? What was the rest of Council wearing?
Pop Down for a Pint
Brewers Row is a hot spot for locals and tourists. A short walk from the skytrain or accessible by the Shoreline Shuttle, these fine (and fun) establishments serve a great flight.
Supporting Wigs for Kids BC
Mike, Constable Rob, and Constable Jenn – two of Port Moody’s finest – spent the afternoon with some amazing kids raising funds to help other kids who’ve lost their hair due to illness.
Celebrating PMPD’s Newest Recruit
Mike chairs the Port Moody Police Board. Chief Constable Dave Fleugel and Mike welcome the City’s newest 2018 recruit to the Port Moody Police Department. “No call too small.”
Pink Shirt Day
Mike commits to volunteering each year at Pink Shirt Day – a day to raise awareness about the prevention of bullying and cyberharassment, particularly with youth.
Breaking Ground for Affordability
Mike is Chair of Metro Vancouver’s Housing Committee and was pleased to break ground in 2018 for Heather Place with Minister of Housing Selina Robinson and other mayors in the region.
