Mike Hurley

Mike Hurley was elected as Burnaby Mayor in 2018 and was re-elected for a second term in 2022 by acclamation.

During his first term, Mike launched the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing, bringing together housing advocates, developers and experts to find innovative solutions to the housing crisis in Burnaby. The recommendations of this task force and subsequent City of Burnaby actions have led to record growth in the number of rental units in Burnaby, including non-market rental. Under his tenure, the City has also created its first Tenant Assistance Policy, a set of protections for renters whose buildings are undergoing rezoning redevelopment that is among the strongest in Canada.

Mike has also prioritized the creation of a climate action plan, a new transportation plan and an ambitious capital plan to revitalize Burnaby’s infrastructure. He continues to focus on finding ways to make life more affordable for Burnaby residents, while ensuring the city remains a great place to live for generations to come.

Prior to being elected mayor, Mike served as a firefighter with the City of Burnaby. He has held leadership positions, playing a key role with Burnaby Fire Fighters, the BC Professional Fire Fighters, and Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society – which supports over 50 community charities.
