Timeline

1957

Carole Alison James (born December 22, 1957) is a Canadian politician and former public administrator, who represented Victoria-Beacon Hill in the MLA from 2005 to 2020.

1990

James served on the Greater Victoria School Board from 1990 to 2001, including seven terms as chair, and gained a province-wide profile in her unprecedented five terms as president of the BC School Trustees Association.

She also served at the national level as vice-president of the Canadian School Boards Association.

1999

From 1999 to 2001, James held the position of director of child care policy for the British Columbia government.

In addition, she served on several local and provincial panels and committees.

2001

In 2001, James ran unsuccessfully for the NDP in the riding of Victoria-Beacon Hill only losing by 35 votes to BC Liberal candidate Jeff Bray.

She subsequently moved to Prince George, British Columbia, to serve as the director of child and family services for Carrier Sekani Family Services, and later as co-ordinator of the Northern Aboriginal Authority for Families.

At the time of her election the party was suffering low morale in the wake of the 2001 provincial election, which had reduced the NDP to only two seats in the Legislative Assembly.

During her campaign to win the party leadership, James pledged to modernize the NDP's ideology and internal structures and build a broader base of support for the party, a move which alienated some traditional supporters.

On election night James and the NDP surprised many supporters and critics alike with a very strong electoral showing; the party winning 41.52 per cent of the popular vote (a 19.96 per cent increase from the 2001 election result) and 33 out of 79 seats in the Legislative Assembly.

James won her seat in the riding of Victoria-Beacon Hill with 57.01 per cent of the vote, defeating the incumbent BC Liberal MLA Jeff Bray by an almost 2-1 margin.

2003

James was elected leader of the provincial NDP on November 23, 2003.

2004

James self-identifies as part Métis, and in 2004 married her long-time partner, Albert Gerow, a First Nations artist and former Burns Lake municipal councillor and Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer.

Gerow was the chief of the Ts'il Kaz Koh First Nation in Burns Lake.

James has been a foster parent for over twenty years.

2005

A member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party (NDP), she was the party's leader and Leader of the Opposition in British Columbia from 2005 to 2011.

During the 2005 provincial election, James campaigned heavily on her name and image.

2006

On July 13, 2006, James announced publicly that she had been diagnosed with localized uterine endometrial cancer.

She underwent surgery and radiation treatment and her prognosis is considered to be excellent.

2009

She was re-elected in 2009, 2013, and 2017.

2010

On December 1, 2010, Jenny Kwan, a prominent party member, released a statement to the media criticizing James' leadership of the New Democratic Party, and calling for an immediate leadership convention.

In response to Kwan's statement, James called an emergency caucus session to address opposition to her continued leadership.

While the session was meant to take place on December 5, it was later postponed so that private discussions could take place with a group of thirteen caucus members opposed to James' continued leadership.

On short notice on December 6, James announced she would resign the party's leadership.

She continued in the position, however, until Dawn Black was chosen to act as Interim Leader.

James served as opposition Critic for Children and Family Development under her successor, Adrian Dix.

She was promoted to the Finance portfolio under John Horgan, and was also named deputy leader of the BC NDP and hence Deputy Leader of the Opposition.

2017

Following her resignation as leader, she stayed in politics and served as the 14th deputy premier of British Columbia and minister of finance under John Horgan, from 2017 to 2020.

James was born in Dukinfield, Cheshire, England, and raised in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, and in Victoria, British Columbia.

After graduating from high school, James and her first husband worked in institutions for the developmentally disabled in Alberta and British Columbia.

As a mother of young children, Alison and Evan, she became involved in a parents' group in Victoria, which led to her first foray into politics.

When the BC NDP won a minority government in 2017, James became deputy premier and Finance minister.

2020

In March 2020, James announced that she was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and did not run in the 2020 British Columbia general election.

She resigned from both positions in 2020, shortly after leaving the provincial legislature.
