Lisa Gunderson

Known as Dr.Lisa or DrG in her communities, Lisa lives in Saanich, BC with her two sons and partner of 24 years. Lisa is a first generation African-American and Canadian immigrant of Jamaican heritage.

Lisa believes that this is a critical moment for the Green Party of Canada and its future, and we need a Federal Council that can truly listen and work collaboratively for our party’s success.

Lisa has spent decades working for Green values. She created One Love Consulting, which focuses on creating a more equitable and just society. Lisa believes that her skill set as a psychologist, community leader, business woman, and educator is what is needed now.

For many years, Lisa has been an active Green, serving as an equity consultant, pundit, spokesperson for proportional representation, campaign volunteer, riding association member, panelist, and member of the diversity/equity committee. She has also served on local and national boards and advisory committees.

Because Lisa understands her history and the lived experiences of her ancestors, she is incredibly hopeful that positive change and momentum can be achieved. We can foster a sense of collaboration and unity around what brings us together as Greens and provide our members and fellow Canadians a real choice on doing politics differently - from the inside-out.
