Let's keep moving forward together.

About Alison Evans

I’m a wife, mom, 911 dispatcher, small business owner and your City Councillor.


I’ve called Pitt Meadows home for 18 years, and I’m proud to serve the community where my family lives, works and plays.


For my 20 years as a 911 Dispatcher, I’ve helped people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives. This career has shaped how I serve our community: listening carefully, understanding people’s needs, finding solutions and delivering results.


I am also an Emergency Support Services (ESS) volunteer, helping people and their pets find support, basic needs and temporary accommodation after emergencies.


Public service has always been about being there when people need help most. Whether answering a 911 call, supporting residents during emergencies or serving on Council, my goal has remained the same: listen, solve problems and make our community stronger.


I also understand the challenges facing local businesses because I’ve experienced them myself. I owned and operated two small businesses in Pitt Meadows: a CrossFit gym and a mobile food business that my children now operate. Being a small business owner has shown me firsthand that when local businesses succeed, our entire community benefits.


Outside of City Hall, I like to stay active. I play elite flag football, tennis and golf, and enjoy kayaking, cycling, playing alto saxophone and painting. Sports have taught me the importance of teamwork, perseverance and showing up for others.

My 2026 Platform

My priorities are simple:

I want Pitt Meadows to stay safe, affordable and connected to the things that make this community special.

That means making smart decisions, protecting what matters and always putting residents first.

Public Safety

When you call 911, you shouldn't have to wonder if help is coming.

Every family deserves to feel safe at home and know that when the worst happens, someone is on the way.


That's why I fought for 24-hour career fire staffing and more firefighters. We know these changes saved lives and properties. Pitt Meadows is safer than it was 4 years ago.


But our work isn't finished. As Pitt Meadows grows, we need to keep investing in emergency services, disaster preparedness and public safety so our community is ready when it matters most.

Walking and Cycling Safety

A child's trip to school shouldn't be a parent's biggest worry. 


Safe streets give kids more independence, help seniors stay active and make our neighbourhoods stronger.

I've supported projects like Harris Road Complete Street and the Hammond and Blakely intersection improvements.


I'll keep fighting for safer routes to school so more children can walk, ride and roll with confidence.

Local Economic Development

Every empty storefront affects our community.

Local businesses sponsor our kids' sports teams, create local jobs and give us places to gather. I want them to succeed.


But many are facing rising costs that make it harder to stay local. 

When local businesses succeed, our entire community benefits. Thriving small businesses means more local shops, more places to meet friends and more reasons to spend your money here instead of somewhere else.


That's why I supported tourism initiatives like Scenic Route 7 and the return of the Pitt Meadows Blueberry Festival to bring more visitors, customers and economic opportunities to our community.  I also pushed for the Province to institute commercial lease protections, like they do for residential leases.


I will keep advocating for small business lease protections and more tourism initiatives because a strong local businesses build a strong local economy.

Guarding What Makes Pitt Meadows Special

We chose Pitt Meadows because it's different. We're proud to call it home.


We have parks, farmland, trails and a close knit community where people still know their neighbours, help strangers and say "hello" when we pass on the street.


As our city grows, we need to protect the things that make it feel like home.


Growth should strengthen our community, not change what makes Pitt Meadows special.

Spending Wisely

Families are watching every dollar right now, and City Hall should do the same. I believe your tax dollars should be spent wisely, focused on the services that matter most and planned with the future in mind.


My goal is to balance responsible spending with thoughtful investments in the services, spaces and experiences that bring our community together. 


Good decisions today will help protect what people love about Pitt Meadows while building a strong future.

Protecting Farmland

Once farmland is lost, we don't get it back. Protecting farmland helps secure our local food supply, supports farming families and preserves what makes Pitt Meadows unique. That's why I've pushed the Province to strengthen farmland protections. I brought forward two resolutions that were considered by the Premier's Task Force on Agriculture.


Going forward, I will continue working to protect the farmland that feeds us, support the farmers who care for it and preserve the rural character that makes Pitt Meadows such a special place to call home.

My Values

Public Safety

Small Business Support

Fiscal Responsibility

Alison with others at the grand opening of the new firehall in Pitt Meadows.

Public safety is the foundation of a strong community. It means ensuring our residents feel secure at home, in our public spaces and when emergencies occur. 

Safety also includes emergency preparedness, prevention and recovery.

 We also need to make sure people can move about safely, through planning and design.


A safe community is a healthy, thriving one.

Fiscal Responsibility

Small Business Support

Fiscal Responsibility

Alison in council chambers during budget deliberations.

Every dollar the City spends comes from you. 

We need to balance the needs of infrastructure, services and programs that improve quality of life, while avoiding waste.

Whether encouraging grant funding, minimizing expenses, looking for efficiencies or seeking cost-sharing agreements, good financial stewardship builds trust and must be used for every decision made.


Every dollar comes from you. espect because families are working harder than ever to make ends meet.

Small Business Support

Small Business Support

Transparency & Accountability

Alison at the Tourism BC conference.

A thriving local economy is essential for a strong community. 

Economic vitality means supporting our local businesses, promoting policies and programs that help small businesses grow and succeed, encouraging businesses that provide meaningful employment opportunities close to home. and creating opportunities for residents to live and work in our city. 


Economic growth should enhance our community, not change its character.

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency & Accountability

Transparency & Accountability

Alison signing her oath of office during her inauguration.

I believe local government needs to be open, honest and accountable for the decisions made.  Transparency means we need to not only share the information but make it easy to access and understand. 

As a councillor, I know trust is earned through actions. That's why I prioritize sharing updates on my work, answering questions from residents.


Clear communication is the cornerstone of public trust.

Collaboration

Transparency & Accountability

Public Engagement

Alison with Councillors Mike Hayes and Mike Manion.

The best outcomes for our communities come when we work together: residents, staff, council and regional partners.

Collaboration means listening, valuing diverse perspectives and finding common ground.


When every voice is heard, better decisions follow. 


Public Engagement

Transparency & Accountability

Public Engagement

Alison speaking to members of the public.

A strong community is built when residents are actively engaged in shaping the decisions that affect their lives. 

Public engagement means creating opportunities for meaningful input, sharing information in ways people can understand, and taking residents’ perspectives into account when making policy. 


We have to go to the people, and find ways to engage with all groups in our community, not wait for them to come to us.

Protecting Our Environment

We have a responsibility to protect our natural environment for future generations. Environmental stewardship means making smart, sustainable choices in how we plan, build, and grow. It’s about balancing development with the preservation of green spaces, reducing our environmental footprint, and preparing for the impacts of climate change. 


A healthy environment supports a healthy community.

Inclusivity

I believe innovation is essential to meet the needs of today while preparing for the challenges of tomorrow. 

Innovation means embracing new ideas, technologies, and approaches to improve services, infrastructure, and quality of life. 


We need to be proactive, find creative solutions, and to make our community more efficient, resilient, and responsive.
