Emily Lowan (born September 18, 2000)[1] is a Canadian politician and activist who has served as leader of the Green Party of British Columbia since 2025.[2]

An alumna of Claremont Secondary School in Victoria, BC[3] and the University of Victoria, Lowan launched her campaign for the party leadership on July 3, 2025, receiving endorsements from David Suzuki, among others.[4][5][6] She won the election in September 2025, winning over 60% of the popular vote, becoming the first Generation Z leader of a major political party in Canadian history.[7]

Lowan is not a member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, but has said she intends to run in the next "viable" provincial by-election or in the next general election.[8] She has said she will not ask either of the two current Green MLAs Jeremy Valeriote or Rob Botterell to resign so she can run in a by-election in their constituencies.[9]

Lowan holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science and environmental studies from the University of Victoria.[10][11]
