Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Amy Lubik is a solutions-oriented second-term councillor and public health researcher. Her council work includes well-being guidelines, more affordable housing, urban canopy protection and park expansions. She’s guided by evidence and a commitment to a healthy community for all.

Amy Lubik is a solutions-oriented, second-term City Councillor who calls the neighbourhood of Suter Brook home. She brings a unique combination of health research, climate resilience, and community-focused leadership to Council, always asking one simple question: how can we make life better for everyone who calls Port Moody home?

Amy began her career in medical research after someone she loved was diagnosed with cancer. Through that work and volunteering with many social and environmental health organizations, she discovered that many of the biggest influences on our health happen in our communities—things like housing, social connection and preparedness, income, access to greenspaces, and the neighbourhoods we live in. That inspired her to focus on creating healthier communities through public policy.

On Council, Amy has championed putting health at the centre of decision-making, helping make community well-being a pillar of the City’s strategic plan. Her dedication has resulted in:

  1. The city’s standards of rental maintenance bylaw
  2. Increased targets for family-friendly rental housing around SkyTrain
  3. The Urban forestry strategy
  4. Integration of age-friendly design into public spaces
  5. Increased community garden spaces
  6. See her accountability page for more

She believes the best decisions come from combining evidence with lived experience, listening to residents, and working together to solve problems. She remains committed to building a city with more housing choices, stronger neighbourhood connections, healthier and greener public spaces, and a more resilient future.

Outside of Council, Amy works as a Climate Change Lead with Fraser Health. She provides guidance for communities to prepare for extreme weather through research, policy, and relationship-building. Her focus is supporting those most affected, including seniors, newcomers, families, and people experiencing homelessness.

At home, Amy is a devoted partner, sister, daughter, friend, and cat-mom. She is a passionate balcony and boulevard gardener, as well as amateur baker (that was her first job as teenager working in Port Moody). She is an avid reader, constantly in our library learning about new ideas and devouring fiction to better understand our world. In her free time you may find her paddling our ocean and rivers, running the trails.

She also has extensive volunteer experience, including Amnesty International, Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment, the Public Health Association of BC, Force of Nature, and organizations support in our unhoused neighbours
