Working for you in Burnaby North.
Janet Routledge has spent her entire career in the service of working people. A union leader and community activist, Janet is focused on helping people access quality healthcare, assert their rights, and generally reach their full potential as citizens of this great province.
A life-long feminist, Janet has been front and centre in the fight for women’s rights. She took a leadership role in the effort to win pay equity settlements from the federal government, and she made it a priority that the voices of women – especially racialized women – were heard as positions of authority. She was a founding member of the Everywoman’s Health Centre and served for several years on its board of directors.
Getting results for people is one of Janet’s many passions. She’s represented workers on the federal Employment Insurance Appeals Board, and she was granted commenter status in the National Energy Board hearings on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. As the MLA for Burnaby North she’s proud to have stood up for issues that matter in our community – and to have delivered solutions that make a difference.
Janet understands that an MLA’s job is to make your life better. You can be sure that she and David Eby are always on your side.
