Councillor Rosalind Campbell (θəθiliwət) grew up and currently resides in Musqueam. Her mother was the late Theresa Campbell (nee Point) and her father is Ben Campbell.
Rosalind is a lawyer whose Aboriginal Law practice includes the areas of corporate, commercial and governance. She graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2006 and a Bachelor of Laws degree in 2009. She was called to the bar (Law Society of B.C.) in 2010 and is currently a senior associate with Arbutus Law Group.
Councillor Campbell was first elected to Musqueam Council in 2016, and was re-elected to a second four-year term in 2020. Rosalind chairs the Title & Rights Committee, and is a rights recognition negotiator with the intergovernmental affairs department. From 2013 to 2015, Rosalind was chair of the Musqueam Land Code Committee, consulting community members on the development of an interim spousal property law.
Prior to becoming a lawyer, Rosalind was a legal assistant and subsequently the tax administrator for Musqueam.
Rosalind has volunteered as a board member of Indigenous not-for-profits in the areas of live performance, education, and social services for women and children, including the YWCA Metro Vancouver, West Coast Legal Education and Action Fund, Aboriginal Mothers Centre Society, Native Education College and Full Circle: First Nations Performance. She also volunteered on committees of several provincial entities to create recommendations to implement some of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action.
Rosalind is a strong supporter of the revitalization of hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓, and has completed several years of hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ courses that Musqueam teaches with UBC. She took this institutional route due to most fluent speakers having passed by the late 1990s, when she began the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ courses.
