Diane Therrien is a Canadian municipal politician who is the mayor of Peterborough, Ontario, a position she won in the 2018 Ontario municipal elections.[1] Therrien is the third woman to be mayor of the city. Prior to her mayoral election, she was a city councillor for Ward 3 (Town Ward) from 2014 to 2018.[2]

On August 13, 2019, Peterborough City Council unanimously passed a by-law to eliminate camping in City Parks.[3] Therrien stated publicly that she would not allow the police to enforce the bylaws as written.[4] 1,751 members of the local community signed a petition requesting the removal of Tent City, a homeless encampment.[5] The total expense for police patrols of the area in 2019 was more than $86,000.[6] On February 14, 2022, Therrien asked Deputy Mayor Andrew Beamer to serve as acting mayor while she took a leave of absence for health reasons.
