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
Christening the new Glenayre Spray Park
Mayor Mike and Councillor Barbara Junker (long-term Glenayre resident) celebrated the re-opening of the Glenayre Spray Park in 2017 (and soaked a few kids.)
Honoring a Tireless Voice for the Homeless
Mike was proud to honor Sandy Burpee, the long-time Chair of the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Group. Sandy spent thousands of hours advocating for the rights of the most vulnerable.
Volunteering at Crossroads Hospice
Crossroads Hospice Society provides compassionate care to those affected by the end-of-life experience. Mike has supported this amazing organization with many hours of volunteer service.
Glenayre Turns 60!
Mike & Councillor Junker celebrated Glenayre’s 60th Anniversary with the Glenayre Community Association, who organized an awesome event in an even more awesome neighbourhood.
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.
You Never Know Who’s at the Library
Pirates, puppets, and pyjamas. A perfect day for Mike to read with the kids at Port Moody Library. One of Mike’s favorite activity is giving out those summer reading medals.
