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 !

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?
International Women’s Day
Every year the Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce holds a special event to a celebrate the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
Acting Mayor for the Day
It’s critical to get our young people interested in the democratic process. Mike was pretty happy to relinquish the Mayor Chair to his young Port Moody constituent.
Singing for Soroptimist
Mayor Mike and one of “The Three Divas” Polly Krier performed a crowd-pleasing lip sync to raise funds for Soroptimist, an organization benefitting women and girls.
Canada Day with Premier John Horgan
Canada Day celebrations at Rocky Point are a key part of Port Moody’s annual Golden Spike Days. Somehow Premier Horgan received an “I Love Port Moody” hat for the special occasion.
Metro Vancouver Leadership
Mike has a number of responsibilities with Metro Vancouver, including chairing the Housing Committee and serving on the Electoral Area and Utilities Committees.
