Peter S. Julian (born April 16, 1962) is a Canadian Member of Parliament for the New Democratic Party (NDP), representing the riding of New Westminster—Burnaby.
Julian was born on April 16, 1962, in New Westminster, British Columbia, to Terry and Ruth Julian. His father Terry is a school administrator, historian and author, and a 2002 recipient of the Queen's Jubilee Medal. He also has one sister, Randi, and one brother, Patrick.
Julian is fluently bilingual and is also functional in American Sign Language. He lives in the 10th Avenue area of New Westminster. He graduated from New Westminster Secondary School and holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the Université du Québec à Montréal with a specialization in International Relations.
A community activist, Julian was Executive Director of the Council of Canadians and later the Western Institute for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. He was a leader in an unsuccessful effort to prevent the arrival of big box retail in New Westminster without public consultation. Ultimately, the city allowed a big box store which turned out to be a Wal-Mart store.
Julian served as the Provincial Secretary for the Quebec section of the New Democratic Party in the 1990s. He also has been the National Policy Coordinator and Assistant and Acting Federal Secretary of the NDP. He has been a member of the NDP since he was 14 years old.
In 2002, Julian ran for city council in New Westminster, British Columbia. He received 3,275 votes, losing a spot on the council by 74 votes.
