Chris Milburn (Sydney—Victoria)
Milburn is a physician. He was born in Sydney, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and trained in emergency and family medicine at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. He held several medical positions in and around the Kingston area after graduating, including a stint as a clinic doctor in Lansdowne after the small community lost its previous doctor (KWS, 22 November 2000). Milburn is also a skilled athlete, and has participated in several triathlons. He was a member of the Kingston Whig-Standard's community editorial board in the late 1990s, and frequently contributed to its columns (KWS, 11 October 2000).
Milburn joined the Green Party shortly before the 2000 federal election, and campaigned in the Ontario riding of Kingston and the Islands. He emphasized health issues, and wrote against the privatisation of prescription medicine (KWS, 1 November 2000). He received 2,652 votes (5.18%), the best showing for a Green candidate outside of British Columbia. Milburn defeated Fred Perel to win the Green Party of Ontario nomination for Kingston and the Islands in the 2003 provincial election (KWS, 9 October 2002), but left for a job in New Brunswick shortly before the campaign (KWS, 8 September 2003).
At the time of the 2004 election, Milburn was a physician with the emergency unit at Cape Breton Regional Hospital (Medical Post, 15 June 2004). He had recently purchased the historic site of the old City Hospital, where he planned to build a "green" neighbourhood. He was 34 years old. He received 855 votes, finishing fourth.
As of 2005, Milburn is the GPC's Healthcare Advocate.
