Honourable Christine Boyle

Christine Boyle was first elected as the MLA for Vancouver-Little Mountain in 2024.

In November 2024, Christine was appointed the Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation.

Christine was elected to Vancouver city council in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. As a councillor, Christine led the city’s work on affordable housing and climate action, and co-chaired its United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People’s Task Force in partnership with the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations. She was also council liaison to the Urban Indigenous Peoples’ Advisory Committee and sat on the Metro Vancouver Indigenous Relations Committee.

Before entering municipal politics, Christine spent her early career working in front-line social services and community outreach in Vancouver and multi-faith climate advocacy nationally. She has an undergraduate degree in urban agriculture and First Nations Studies from the University of British Columbia. As a student intern, Christine worked on Amnesty International’s 2004 Stolen Sisters report.

Christine grew up on the territories of the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Sḵwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples, and loves cooking and spending time outdoors. She lives in Vancouver with her husband and two children.

The B.C. Public Service acknowledges the territories of First Nations around B.C. and is grateful to carry out our work on these lands. We acknowledge the rights, interests, priorities, and concerns of all Indigenous Peoples - First Nations, Métis, and Inuit - respecting and acknowledging their distinct cultures, histories, rights, laws, and governments.
