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). After the resignation of mayor Greg Halsey-Brandt, Brodie was elected mayor in a special by-election on October 29, 2001. He left his RNPA party, and now serves as an independent. Brodie was re-elected by large margins in 2002, 2005, 2008 and 2014. He is the second-longest serving mayor in Richmond's history, next to Ruby Grauer, who served from 1930 to 1949.
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 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. He served as Director Representative in the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority (Translink) from 2002 to 2007 and Chair in 2006.
A Richmond Resident since 1977, Brodie has two adult children, Garrett and Stephanie, and three grandchildren, Kayla, Matthew, and Brodie.
Brodie received the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002, Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, and the Commemorative Medal at the 125th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada in 1992.
