Adriane Carr

Adriane Carr (born 1952) is a Canadian academic, activist and retired green politician. She served on Vancouver City Council from 2011 until her resignation in 2025. Carr was a founding member of the Green Party of British Columbia (BC Green Party) and was the party's first leader, then known as "spokesperson", from 1983 to 1985. In 2000, she became the party's leader again.

Early life Carr was born in Vancouver and raised in the Lower Mainland and the Kootenays. She earned a master's degree in urban geography from the University of British Columbia in 1980 and taught at Langara College. – and helped to create the largest team of elected Greens in Canadian history.

In the 2018 municipal election, Carr was again elected with the highest number of votes and was joined by fellow Green Party members Pete Fry and Michael Wiebe on council. The Greens also elected three candidates each to the Vancouver School Board and Vancouver Park Board.

Carr was re-elected to city council in the 2022 Vancouver election after declining to run for mayor. She placed eighth with 41,831 votes, the highest vote share for a non-ABC Vancouver candidate, though the Greens' popular vote declined along with most other centre-left parties, while the centre-right ABC councillors formed a new council majority.
