==Business career==
Murray and a group of friends won one of the first tree-planting contracts in British Columbia in 1970, starting what would become Brinkman and Associates Reforestation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.brinkman.ca/about|title=About Us|date=December 4, 2013|website=Brinkman Group|access-date=August 29, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180830004950/https://www.brinkman.ca/about|archive-date=August 30, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Starting as a small tree-planting proprietorship in British Columbia, the business began to expand when Murray and Brinkman started working together in 1975. Murray and her husband, Dirk Brinkman, incorporated Brinkman and Associates Reforestation Ltd. in 1979.

Murray and Brinkman grew the company across Canada (1978 Alberta; 1983 Ontario, 1987 Saskatchewan 1989 Quebec, 1992 Manitoba, 1993 Yukon) and diversified beyond reforestation into ecosystem restoration, urban restoration, forest management services for First Nation communities, rights of way clearing and fully integrated harvest to reforestation services and sustainability initiatives.

In August 2000, Murray won the nomination as the [[British Columbia Liberal Party|BC Liberal]] candidate for the riding of the [[electoral district (Canada)|electoral district]] of [[New Westminster (provincial electoral district)|New Westminster]]. During the election, she developed climate action and forest renewal policy papers for the party leadership. Then in 2001, she switched from business to politics full-time when she became the first BC Liberal (and first non–New Democrat) to be elected from New Westminster since the 1949 provincial election. She was named a cabinet minister by Premier [[Gordon Campbell (Canadian politician)|Gordon Campbell]] in June 2001, serving until 2004 as the first-ever minister of Water, Land and Air Protection, and as Minister of Management Services from 2004 until the 2005 election.<ref name="quiet">{{cite news |last=Yaffe |first=Barbara |title=Quiet, competent Joyce Murray brings message of sustainability to federal Liberal race |url=https://vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/Barbara+Yaffe+Quiet+competent+Joyce+Murray+brings/7677824/story.html |access-date=February 5, 2013 |newspaper=[[Vancouver Sun]] |date=December 10, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121231041844/http://www.vancouversun.com/opinion/columnists/Barbara+Yaffe+Quiet+competent+Joyce+Murray+brings/7677824/story.html |archive-date=December 31, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2002, Murray hosted a joint meeting of the federal, provincial and territorial energy and environment ministers, to examine policies in the context of ratification of the [[Kyoto Protocol]].<ref>Ministry of Water Land and Air Protection Annual Report 2001-2002 http://www.bcbudget.gov.bc.ca/Annual_Reports/2001_2002/wlap.pdf {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304135838/http://www.bcbudget.gov.bc.ca/Annual_Reports/2001_2002/wlap.pdf |date=March 4, 2016 }}</ref>

Murray's tenure as Minister of Water, Land and Air Protection focused on protecting ecological sites in the province. For example, Murray worked towards developing an agreement with the Heiltsuk First Nation and brought about co-management of the protected Hakai Luxvbalis Conservancy Area.<ref>4th Session, 37th Parliament, Hansard Vol 18 No 10 Page 8058 November 19, 2003</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.hellobc.com/activitylisting/4547029/hakai-luxvbalis-conservancy-area.aspx |title=Hakai Luxvbalis Conservancy Area &#124; Port Hardy - VCI &#124; Tourism BC - Official Site |access-date=January 19, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105094413/http://www.hellobc.com/activitylisting/4547029/hakai-luxvbalis-conservancy-area.aspx |archive-date=November 5, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Spruce Lake Protected Area]] was named a provincial park, and [[Burns Bog]], the largest domed peat bog on the west coast, was purchased by the province and other local public entities and became the [[Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area]].

Murray also introduced the first comprehensive framework strategy for total product stewardship for recycling of all products in British Columbia.<ref>Status discussed 2003 Legislative Session: 4th Session, 37th Parliament Hansard -- Thursday, May 15, 2003, pm -- Vol. 15, No. 14</ref> The new regulations required that producers assume responsibility for removing their products from the waste stream. She also brought together the province's 13 oil producers to develop a cooperative solution for recycling [[waste oil]], plastic (from containers), and steel wool from oil filters. At that time, over 22{{nbsp}}million litres of oil were entering the GVRD waste stream annually. Murray then brought the electronics industry under the product stewardship framework to develop solutions for all [[electronic waste]] and worked with the pulp and paper industry to help them implement their stewardship strategy. Murray's work has since served as the basis for similar legislation in several other provinces.

From 2003 to 2004, Murray was the president of the [[Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpac.ca/joyce_murray_endorsed |title=Party: Liberal Party, Riding: Vancouver Quadra, Province: British Columbia, Incumbent: Yes |work=GreenPAC |access-date=October 10, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150921003112/http://www.greenpac.ca/joyce_murray_endorsed |archive-date=September 21, 2015}}</ref>

On September 18, 2015, Craig Forcese and [[Kent Roach]] detailed Murray's Bill 622, noting it was "impressive and wide-ranging", saying "Joyce Murray's private members bill proposed an interesting attempt to prevent partisan and government domination of a new committee by providing that no political party should have a majority of committee members.

As parliamentary secretary, Murray worked with the Treasury Board to develop a framework for achieving greater GHG reductions across federal government operations. Through collaboration across multiple departments and with provincial and municipal levels of government, and through consultation with climate experts, the Centre for Greening Government was created within the [[Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat|Treasury Board Secretariat]] in November 2016. According to its webpage, "the Centre tracks and reports on the federal government's emissions centrally, coordinates greening efforts across government and drives results to ensure the Government of Canada meets its greenhouse gas reduction targets. The Centre aims to leverage knowledge, skills and capabilities that can be shared throughout the Government of Canada and among various communities of practice through partnerships with government and non-government organizations, including business and academia."<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/greening-government.html |title=Greening government - Canada.ca |last=Secretariat |first=Treasury Board of Canada |website=www.canada.ca |date=June 23, 2016 |access-date=January 26, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127143242/https://www.canada.ca/en/treasury-board-secretariat/services/innovation/greening-government.html |archive-date=January 27, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Both the scope and intent of Bill C-22 as well as much of its text were based on Murray's earlier private member's bill C-622.

In celebration of [[150th anniversary of Canada|Canada 150]], Murray created an award for Vancouver Quadra's Hidden Heroes, recognizing locals who had contributed to the community and country. The winners were recognized with certificates and special pins made from the old roof of the Canadian Parliament.

In September 2017, Murray was awarded the Canada Clean50 Award recognizing her commitment to fighting climate change and protecting the environment. Murray received the award in recognition of her work on the Centre for Greening Government, and her record of achievement on environmental issues both federally and provincially.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://clean50.com/murray_joyce/ |title=Joyce Murray, M.P. - Clean 50 |date=September 20, 2017 |work=Clean 50 |access-date=January 26, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180127084539/http://clean50.com/murray_joyce/ |archive-date=January 27, 2018 |url-status=live }}</ref>
