Pete Fry is a Vancouver city councillor, first elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. He is the Green Party of Vancouver’s 2026 mayoral candidate, with ballot number 51. COPE’s Stephanie Allen withdrew on September 2, 2026 and OneCity’s William Azaroff withdrew on September 8, which left him as the only mayoral candidate from the three parties. Daily Hive reported that Azaroff endorsed him. The Tyee reported that neither Azaroff nor Allen would explicitly endorse him, citing uncertainty about Elections BC’s rules on endorsing another party’s candidate.
He was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1969 to parents who were both doctors, and moved to Vancouver as a small child. His mother, Hedy Fry, has been the Member of Parliament for Vancouver Centre since 1993. He has lived in Strathcona, beside the Downtown Eastside, for close to 30 years.
Before politics he worked as a self-employed graphic designer and communications consultant. In the 1980s and 1990s he ran a print shop on East Hastings Street under the name Digiboy, designing magazine covers and concert posters. He later moved into corporate design work. A friend’s death after being hit by a car on Prior Street drew him into traffic safety and planning issues, he told Vancity Lookout in March 2026.
His community work began on the City’s Dog Strategy Task Force in the mid-2000s. In the early 2010s he served as a community representative on the Downtown Eastside Local Area Plan and chaired the Strathcona Residents’ Association. He ran for Council with the Greens in 2014 and in the 2017 by-election without winning, and ran for the BC Greens in the 2016 Vancouver-Mount Pleasant provincial by-election, placing second.
In 2018 he won a Council seat with 61,806 votes, the second-highest total of any council candidate. In 2022 he was re-elected with 37,270 votes, taking the tenth and final seat. He chairs the Resolutions Committee of the Union of BC Municipalities, according to the union’s own committee page. The union’s nomination reports list him as a nominee for its board in 2022, for third vice-president, and in 2025, for a Vancouver Metro Area seat. The Greens announced his mayoral run on January 30, 2026.

No 2026 campaign finance disclosure for this candidacy was found by voche.me on October 2, 2026, and no endorsement list on his campaign site. HUB Cycling’s 2026 candidate survey page returned HTTP 403, so any answers he gave there were not read. The Council minutes for May 6 and July 28, 2026 were not available, so the votes on the rapid shelter and Renter’s Office motions are known only from the City’s meeting summaries, which say both were not approved. CityHallWatch reports his votes on the Broadway Plan, 1477 West Broadway, the Jericho Lands, the Rupert and Renfrew plan and the Official Development Plan without exact dates, so they are not listed as Council records. Recordings of the debates and forums were not watched. No complete daily campaign itinerary has been verified.
The City publishes annual financial disclosure and monthly calendars. The July calendar records past appointments; it is not a forecast of campaign appearances. A disclosure does not, by itself, establish a conflict of interest.
Campaign spending returns, donors, endorsements and a complete vote-by-vote record have not yet been verified for this profile. These gaps do not mean that no records exist. A nominator is not automatically an endorser.

This page listed the nominators, the financial agent and the signing details read from the nomination papers filed with the City. Section 45 (8) of the Vancouver Charter allows information in those papers to be used only for the purposes of the Charter and of the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act, so voche.me no longer copies anything from them. The page links to the City’s copy instead.
Read the updatevoche.me read Council minutes through the Internet Archive and added his recorded votes on the supportive housing pause (February 26, 2025) and the Task Force Barrage funding (November 5, 2025), and the outcome of five motions he moved in 2026. The overdose prevention and plug-in solar motions now show how Council amended them, the electric shuttle motion shows it was approved, and the rapid shelter and Renter’s Office motions show they were not approved. Their dates now follow the meeting dates instead of the party release dates. New: statements from the September 8 UBC debate and the October 2 Board of Trade debate, the party’s 2026 platform, his integrity complaint, his vote on the Villages Plan, and ten news reports. Correction: the biography said he represented Vancouver on the Union of BC Municipalities for three years. It now gives what the union’s own pages show: he chairs its Resolutions Committee and was nominated for its board in 2022 and 2025. Calendar: the September 23 Metro Vancouver Alliance assembly, which Church for Vancouver reports he attended, is now listed under talks. The October 1 Last Candidate Standing listing was removed because no source shows whether he took part. Forums on October 2, 5 and 13 were added.
