About Ryan Beaudry

Ryan has been working in the land use planning field in British Columbia for almost 15 years, having graduated from UNBC in 2009 with an undergraduate degree in northern/rural community planning and from UBC in 2011 with a graduate degree in urban planning. While studying, Ryan gained diverse work experience with placements as a seasonal planning assistant and intern from 2005-2010 with the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, District of Kitimat, and Urban Systems in Terrace, Kitimat, and Kelowna, BC respectively. Following graduation in 2011, Ryan rejoined Urban Systems as a community planning consultant. He was initially based out of their Kelowna office and soon after transferred to the Lower Mainland, ultimately servicing clients out of their offices in Vancouver and Surrey as well as satellite offices in Prince Rupert and Terrace. While at Urban Systems, Ryan worked on a range of land use, infrastructure and real estate projects for clients throughout BC, including municipal, regional and indigenous governments; private landowners and developers; provincial ministries; and many others. It was also during this time that Ryan graduated from SFU with a Certificate in Urban Design and became a Registered Professional Planner (RPP) and Member of the Canadian Institute of Planners (MCIP). Ryan transitioned from consulting to public service at the end of 2015, and for the past eight years has been working in local government including development and long-range planning roles at the District of Kitimat (2016-2017), City of Abbotsford (2017-2021), and Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine (2021-2023). Ryan is currently living in his hometown of Terrace where he has recently joined the City of Terrace as a Planner 3, working alongside a dedicated team of planning professionals. Having lived, studied and worked across urban and rural British Columbia over the past two decades, Ryan is an adaptable planner with broad experience and perspective, always looking to make a difference in every community he serves. In his spare time, Ryan enjoys reading, engaging in passive outdoor recreation, and spending time in nature with his wife and son.
