Biography

Born and raised in Victoria, British Columbia,[3][4] she attended the University of Victoria and worked as an elementary school teacher in Esquimalt and Oak Bay.[2] She served as an elected trustee to the Greater Victoria School Board from 1975 to 1980, including as chair of the board from 1978 to 1979.[3][4] She was elected councillor to the Municipality of Oak Bay in 1980, then served as mayor from 1985 to 1990.[3][4] She represented Oak Bay as a director on the Capital Regional District board during that time, and chaired the board from 1988 to 1989.[3]

She ran as a candidate for the Social Credit Party in a 1989 by-election for the provincial riding of Oak Bay-Gordon Head, but lost to New Democrat Elizabeth Cull by 377 votes.[5] She contested the riding again at the 1991 provincial election, this time placing third behind Cull and Liberal Paul McKivett.[6] She was a host on CFAX AM1070 from 1990 to 1992,[4] then became executive director of the Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island.[2][3]

She represented the BC Liberals in the riding of Saanich South at the 2001 provincial election, and defeated New Democrat David Cubberley to become member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA).[3][7] She was appointed to the cabinet in January 2004 as Minister of State for Mental Health and Addiction Services, before being re-assigned as Minister of Human Resources that September.[8] She was also a member of the Government Caucus Committee on Education, and chair of the Government Caucus Committee on Health.[3]

After losing re-election as MLA in 2005 by 429 votes against Cubberley,[7] Brice instead ran for Saanich District Council at that year's municipal election,[1][9] and has served as councillor since then.[2]

She has been married to husband George since 1965; they have two sons together.[3]
