The exploration geologist, geochemist and mother of two was elected to 麻豆社国产council in 2022, campaigning on environmental issues, affordability and livability, among other things. Climate change was of particular concern.
“With a background in geosciences and public service, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply interconnected our environmental, economic and social challenges are,” said Greenlaw in the Green Party release. “As a municipal councillor for Squamish, I’ve fought against fossil fuel expansion, advocated for gender equity, and worked to strengthen our local economy. Now, I’m ready to take that fight to Parliament — because our communities deserve leadership that prioritizes people over corporate profits.”
Green Party co-leader Elizabeth May said Greenlaw would be an "outstanding" MP, calling her a "fighter for real solutions."
“She understands that the climate crisis is no longer primarily an environmental issue — It is a security threat. It is about fairness, health, and economic stability. We could not be more pleased to have her stand for the Greens in West Vancouver—Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country," said May in the press release.
Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault concurred. "We are at a crossroads in Canada. Lauren Greenlaw knows what’s at stake, and she has the experience and vision to push for bold climate action, economic justice, and a fairer democracy," he said in the release.
