InfoJane Sterk, Leader of the Green Party of BC, brings a wealth of experience, commitment and understanding to her position as leader, thanks in large part to her success in business, politics, government, and education.

She has the innate ability to identify and address the issues that affect individuals, families and communities, and the determination to work toward the transitions we all must make if we're to prosper and thrive in the future.

Long an advocate for environmental responsibility and sustainability, social justice and fair trade, Jane is served as councillor in the Township of Esquimalt, on Vancouver Island, where she topped the polls when she was elected in November, 2005.

She also ran an effective campaign in the 2005 Provincial election under the Green Party banner. In the 2004 Federal Election, Jane had the distinction of garnering the 5th highest number of Green votes out of 308 Canadian ridings.

Jane is an adjunct professor at University Canada West where she teaches MBA courses in Business Environment and Organizational Behaviour. She owned a retail business in the computer industry which created 60 full time positions.

Jane Sterk has a Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology and a Masters in Education. She worked as a psychologist in private practice and the public health system, and as a public school teacher. The mother of two grown sons, and the very proud grandmother of two, Jane and her husband John, a retired lawyer, is also an accomplished sailor, enjoys yoga, cycling, swimming, running and walking.
