Pawan Joshi is running for Council with the One Delta team because he believes it’s time for a new approach to leadership at City Hall — one that listens, collaborates, and plans for the future.

A practicing lawyer and longtime community advocate with extensive public service experience, Pawan was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 2008. His work focuses on family law, administrative law, and civil litigation, giving him a strong foundation in conflict resolution and fair decision-making. Pawan also serves as a Tribunal Member for the BC Farm Industry Review Board, where he hears appeals and complaints involving agriculture, farming practices, and regulatory accountability.

Pawan’s work reflects a longstanding commitment to access to justice, fairness, and service to vulnerable communities. Early in his career in British Columbia, he worked with farm workers, advocating for fair treatment and improved access to justice. He has also worked extensively with Legal Aid to support equitable access to legal services for low-income and vulnerable individuals and families. Drawing on this experience, Pawan understands when the time for arguing is over and believes it’s time for City Hall to move in a new direction with leadership that listens, collaborates, and plans responsibly for the future.

Pawan remains actively engaged in his community. He currently serves as Supervising Lawyer for a Family Law Advocacy Program and has volunteered for many years with Access Pro Bono BC and the CBA-BC Lawyer Referral Service. He has also contributed to local governance and community planning through roles including serving on municipal task forces in Delta, along with several other board and advisory positions.

Beyond his legal career, Pawan is a passionate advocate for community sports and youth engagement. He volunteers with provincial and national sports organizations and manages a local club in Delta, helping build strong connections across diverse communities. Through this involvement, he understands how important recreation, sports infrastructure, and inclusive programming are to Delta’s future.

Pawan believes the One Delta team offers the leadership Delta needs to move forward with a clear and collaborative vision. He wants to help build a Delta where North Delta receives the attention it deserves, where families and local businesses can thrive, where neighbourhoods remain safe and welcoming, and where City Hall operates with openness, accountability, and transparency.
