George Chow

George Chow

George Chow( _zh. 周烱華) is a Vancouver City Councillor who was elected as a member of the Vision Vancouver party in 2005.

Chow was an immigrant from Hong Kong who has lived in Vancouver for more than 30 years. He first ran for council as an independent in 2002 because of his opposition to the proposed safe injection site in the Downtown Eastside near Chinatown. Chow reassessed his position on the safe injection site following its 2003 opening and was subsequently recruited by Vision Vancouver to join its slate for his successful 2005 campaign.
