Huguette Allen, nee Beaudin, is the Federal Green Party Candidate for the Okanagan Shuswap Riding in British Columbia. Born and raised in Montreal, Huguette also lived on the Gaspe Coast of Quebec for 10 years before moving to BC in 2002.

She started out as a computer programmer and senior manager at Nortel, and also as coordinator for computer related industry programs at John Abbott College before starting her own company called Imagine-Ere, which was featured on the "On the Road Again" program with Wayne Rostad.

As an active grandmother, Huguette prides herself on speaking out against destructive practices that bring money to a few for a short time while leaving society to pay for the costs of dealing with pollution, increased sickness, and a damaged world. Her most recent accomplishments include getting bylaws passed by the North Okanagan Regional District prohibiting discharges of effluents to water bodies.
