Anna Kindy (born August 14, 1962) is a Canadian freestyle skier, physician, addiction specialist, and politician who sits as a Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia representing North Island. She was born in Montreal, Quebec. She competed at the 1992 Winter Olympics, in women's moguls.[1]

Despite being vaccinated herself against COVID-19, Kindy has protested against British Columbia's public health measures to combat the pandemic and has questioned the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.[2][3]

Kindy graduated from the University of Alberta's medical school in 1986. At the time of her election to the legislature, she was a general practitioner with a focus on addiction medicine and had hospital privileges at Campbell River Hospital.[4]

She was nominated as the Conservative Party candidate on November 9, 2023 for the provincial riding of North Island.[5] She was elected on October 19, 2024, defeating NDP incumbent Michele Babchuk.[6]
