Ian Campbell (born 1974 or 1975) is an Indigenous Canadian politician. He is a hereditary chief and an elected councillor of the Squamish Nation.[1] Campbell also serves on the board of MST Development Corporation (MST), a corporate entity which manages real estate properties owned by a partnership between the Musqueam Indian Band, the Squamish Nation, and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation. In 2018, he became the Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate for the 2018 Vancouver municipal election.

Life and political career

Campbell is a member of the Squamish Nation. He lives in North Vancouver, British Columbia.[2]

In the years leading up to the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, Campbell was involved in the negotiations for First Nation governments participation in the games, as the Four Host First Nations.[3]

In July 2010, Campbell, along with other First Nation leaders, called for Stanley Park to be renamed Xwayxway, a historic aboriginal name for the area.[4]

In 2014, Campbell was a founding member of MST, participating in negotiations between the Musqueam Indian Band, the Squamish Nation, and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation for joint management of real estate on lands over which the First Nations groups had overlapping claims.[5][6] Based on the corporation's own estimates, MST's properties are valued at more than $1 billion.[7][8]

In 2015, Campbell was one of the first graduates of the Simon Fraser University MBA in Aboriginal Business and Leadership.[9][10][11]

As a hereditary chief of the Squamish Nation, Campbell has been opposed to the proposed Woodfibre LNG project[12][13] and the Trans Mountain Pipeline.[14] He was chief when the nation filed a court challenge against the pipeline.[15][16][17][18]

In October 2017, Campbell proposed tearing down the Fairmont Academy, a former Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) barracks. He claimed doing so would assist the reconciliation process, citing the historic "marginalization of Indigenous peoples" by the RCMP.[19]

In May 2018, Campbell announced that he intended to run for mayor of Vancouver in the 2018 election.[5] Shortly after his announcement, he was confirmed as the Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate, replacing Gregor Robertson, who is not seeking re-election.[2][20][21][22]
