Carolyn Spicer joined the Green Party of Ontario in 2018 while living in the Red Lake District and is excited to run as the Kiiwetinoong Riding Candidate in the next provincial election. Carolyn grew up in Southern Ontario and, after receiving a diploma as a Fish & Wildlife Technologist, she moved to Northwestern Ontario to work with the Ministry of Natural Resources. Her job lead her to spend many years on bush trails, roads and lakes of the Boreal Forest doing data collection as a Resource Technician.

Carolyn has Indigenous (Haudenosaune) ancestry. She always knew she wanted to work outdoors. This keen desire developed through her involvement with the Girl Guides of Canada from the age of 7-18 years. Camping trips, canoeing, group leadership and community service are all skills that added to her career choice and her personal life as a whole. Carolyn and her spouse raised three children who, and they, 7uuas a family, continue to respect and enjoy the beauty and wildlife of the Canadian Shield that surrounds them. Carolyn is also an artist (visual, sculptural, textural) whose mixed-media projects express this love of nature with beauty and whimsy and she continues her art journey despite experiencing a significant vision loss in 2020.

One strong motivation for Carolyn as a Green Party Candidate is her deep-seated desire to protect the natural environment that she loves. She recognizes that political climate action which strengthens environmental justice is the way forward.
