About Bruce Dryer

Bruce was born and raised in Saint John, New Brunswick, and now proudly calls rural New Brunswick home. He lives with his partner and young son in Lower Greenwich on their small-scale family farm. He enjoys hiking and fishing throughout Kings Centre, taking in the natural beauty our region has to offer.

Bruce’s constant curiosity and passion for the environment led him to graduate from UNB with a B. Sc. His major was in General Biology with a concentration in marine and environmental biology.

Bruce has been actively involved in politics most of his adult life; volunteering in past elections and running as a candidate for the Green Party in the 2018 and 2020 provincial elections. After the 2018 election, Bruce kept busy with his public life. In November 2018, he joined the Greenwich Recreation Association as vice president (River Road Hub- Brown’s Flat). A month later, he was elected to the Greenwich Local Service district as a committee member, and in May 2020 was elected Chairman. In 2023 he was elected Ward Councilor in the newly formed Fundy Rural District. Bruce also sat on the Green Party Provincial council for two years (2020-2021).

In January 2019, Bruce joined the board of Stop Spraying New Brunswick Inc. as Secretary/Treasurer and is the Public Landing Wharf steward (Saint John River Society). He is a strong advocate for environmental accountability and environmental stewardship both in business and recreation. If we do not protect our land, there will be nothing left for us to enjoy.

Bruce believes in fair taxation, which is why in 2018 he fought against the changes to the Saint John Regional Facilities act which would have included a property tax increase for outlying areas. As Ward Councilor for Fundy Rural District Bruce continues to work together with the advisory committee and the Fundy Regional Service Commission to collaborate in ways that can benefit the entire region. By Working with the amazing volunteers at the Greenwich Recreation Association Bruce realizes the importance of developing and maintaining community recreational infrastructure. In many cases these facilities are the glue which holds the community together.

His work with Stop Spraying New Brunswick involved many back and forth meetings with the Minister of Environment and Minister of Energy and Resource Development discussing the use of glyphosate in our forest industry.

Bruce brings a youthful vibrancy and strong passion for fairness into the political conversation. He, along with the growing number of Green Party members, understands that when it comes to government, there is a better, more democratic way of getting things done.
