Heather Deal

I'm a City Councillor in Vancouver, BC. My professional background is biologist, cancer researcher, ecosystem restoration specialist, educator. I also sing, bike, camp, read, tweet (@VanRealDeal) and disrupt. Plus I'm infamous for my socially-incorrect laughter. Trekking to the Black Rock Desert is my personal antidote to politics.

I will be speaking March 11 3:30 about the roles creativity plays in the public realm and how art informs policy.
