Malcolm Brodie is the mayor of Richmond, the fourth-largest city in British Columbia.
A lawyer by profession, Brodie was elected to City Council in 1996 and again in 1999, as part of the centre-right Richmond Non-Partisan Association (RNPA).[2] After the resignation of mayor Greg Halsey-Brandt, Brodie was elected mayor in a special by-election on 29 October 2001. He left his RNPA party, and now serves as an independent. Brodie was re-elected by large margins in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2014 and 2018 [3] and 2022. He is the longest-serving mayor in Richmond's history, surpassing Rudy Grauer, who served from 1930 to 1949.[4]
Brodie has played various roles in multiple organizations and committees, including Metro Vancouver Director since 2001, Chair of the Zero Waste Committee and Richmond's General Purposes Committee, and chair, vice-chair and trustee of the Municipal Finance Authority. He is also director of PRIMECorp, which manages police records in BC, and a member of the Utilities Committee, Transportation Committee, Finance Committee, Mayor's Committee, Intergovernmental Administration Committee, and RCMP Local Government Contract Management Committee.[5] He served as Director Representative in the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (TransLink) board from 2002 to 2007 and as chair in 2006.
A Richmond resident since 1977, Brodie has two adult children, Garrett and Stephanie, and three grandchildren, Kayla, Matthew, and Brodie.
