Resolutions, Reality, and Running for Mayor with Pete Fry at UBCM

What do 275 resolutions, municipal downloading, and a possible mayoral race have in common? Councillor Pete Fry. This is the first of three special episodes recorded live at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Victoria. In this installment, hosts Joel Grenz and Sean Wood sit down with Vancouver Councillor Pete Fry on a patio next to a beautiful but somewhat noisy fountain. Discussion ranges from the reality behind UBCM resolutions, to the mental health toll of public office, to the question on everyone’s mind: will Pete run for mayor in 2026? And yes, partway through our audio recorder called its own “point of order” when the memory card filled up. We stitched things back together so please consider it a procedural hiccup with all three readings passed. 🎧 Listen in for: Why UBCM resolutions matter and why fewer might be better That time Pete Fry was on Jimmy Kimmel The realities of mental health, online outrage, and finding support in office Pete’s thoughts on a 2026 mayoral run 👉 Subscribe, rate, and review on your favourite podcast platform.
