Personal life

Boyle lives with her partner, writer and activist Seth Klein, and their children in Grandview–Woodlands. [3] [4] [5]

Activism

Boyle is a climate justice activist, United Church minister, [6] and community organizer. She is a founder and director of the Self Care Project, focusing on fostering resilience for activists, [7] and Spirited Social Change. [8] She has been involved in Fossil Free Faith, an organization that encourages faith institutions to divest from fossil fuels. Due to their work, the United Church of Canada divested from fossil fuels in 2015. [9]

In 2015, Boyle traveled to the Vatican to participate in events surrounding Laudato Si . [10] She was also a delegate to the COP21 climate talks on behalf of the United Church of Canada. [11] In 2018, Boyle participated in a day of faith-based protests against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline in Burnaby, BC. [12]

Political career

Boyle was motivated to run for office because of her commitment to "tackling the deepening wealth gap [in Vancouver], about ensuring that homes are for housing people rather than profits, and about deepening community engagement to build a better city together". [13] She ran alongside Brandon Yan after winning the OneCity Vancouver candidate nomination in June 2018. [14] Boyle won a seat on Vancouver City Council in the 2018 municipal election with 45,529 votes, [15] making her the first elected city councillor from OneCity Vancouver [16] [17] and one of eight women on the ten-member council. [18] She was re-elected to a second term on Vancouver City Council in the 2022 municipal election on October 15, 2022. [19]

On April 4, 2024, Boyle was nominated to run for the seat of Vancouver-Little Mountain for the New Democratic Party of British Columbia in the 2024 provincial election. [20] She won the seat, beating Conservative candidate John Coupar. [21]
