An experienced local champion for people.

Josie Osborne has called Tofino home for over 25 years, first moving there to work as a fisheries biologist for the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council then leading an environmental education non-profit organization before serving as mayor of Tofino for almost eight years.

In 2020 she was elected MLA for Mid Island-Pacific Rim. She’s currently serving as BC’s Minister of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation.

Josie has always worked hard for people and to build partnerships to tackle the big issues that matter to people, from affordable housing to improving access to health care and making life more affordable. She’s a champion for sustainable resource development that builds strong local economies. She is deeply committed to helping solve the climate crisis, and building a cleaner and stronger future where everyone can get ahead.

Josie lives with her husband on 10 acres in Tofino with her dog, two goats, and a coop full of chickens. You can count on her and David Eby to look out for you every day, and deliver results.
