Antonio Arciniega

I’m a retired Professional Engineer (P.Eng) and Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA). Throughout my career, I've served in multiple C-Suite positions, including several years with a company in the global health and fitness market. I have nearly twenty years of board-level exposure, both as an executive team member and as a board member myself.

Born in Lima, Peru, I moved to Vancouver in 1989.  My passion for cycling runs deep and spans every discipline: road, gravel, commuter, and mountain biking. For 15 years, I commuted by bike 2 to 3 days per week between Tsawwassen and Richmond, Kitsilano, and South Surrey. These experiences have given me intimate knowledge of the cycling infrastructure challenges and opportunities throughout Metro Vancouver.

I have cycled in the world's most bike-friendly cities, including Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, Barcelona, and Berlin, among others. These travels have shown me what's possible when cities prioritize cycling infrastructure and culture, and I firmly believe Vancouver has the potential to join the ranks of these cycling capitals.

If elected as Director, I will bring the same passion and enthusiasm I have for cycling to my board responsibilities, combined with the governance experience and strategic thinking that have defined my professional career.
