Councillor Pete Fry was first elected in 2018 on a commitment to open government, collaborative community engagement, and a thriving resilient city comprised of complete and equitable communities; with a focus on tenant protections and housing affordability, slower safer streets, mental health and addictions, zero waste, and Vancouver's first-ever city-wide plan.

An illustrator and designer by trade, Councillor Fry's work prior to public service was in community development, advocacy, and communications; working with hundreds of local small businesses, arts and non-profits, and volunteering his skills to support low-income families in the DTES, AIDS-relief, food security, animal welfare, cultural groups, and fighting climate change.

Councillor Pete Fry has lived in Vancouver since immigrating to Canada as a child and currently lives in Strathcona with his wife and assorted animals.
