Honourable Selina Robinson

Selina Robinson was elected as the MLA for Coquitlam-Maillardville in 2013, and re-elected in 2017 and 2020. She previously served as the minister of Finance and minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

While part of the official Opposition, Selina served as the spokesperson for mental health and addictions, seniors, local government and sports.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, Selina has been actively engaged in the Coquitlam community since moving there nearly 30 years ago.

As a former city councilor, Selina fought to protect the health of children and families by introducing a local ban on cosmetic pesticides.

Prior to being elected, Selina had a home-based family therapy practice, was the director of development for SHARE Family and Community Services and was a counselling instructor and program developer at the University of British Columbia’s Life and Learning Centre and Vancouver Community College.

Selina lives with her husband Dan in the Ranch Park neighbourhood of Coquitlam where they raised their now adult children, Aaron and Leya.
