MLA Dr. Terry Lake - Kamloops North Thompson

Dear Lord, thank you for Terry Lake's willingness to serve his province and its people. Give him surpassing wisdom in his heart and mind as he works in parliament. Thank you for choosing him, for no man can have anything that doesn’t come from you. Help him when choices are difficult to choose according to his conscience and lean on the wisdom You will grant him. Amen


Dr. Terry Lake was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for the Ranching Task Force to the Minister of Agriculture and Lands on June 10, 2009. He was elected MLA for Kamloops-North Thompson on May 12, 2009.


Terry is a veterinarian by profession and served as the Mayor of the City of Kamloops from 2005-2008 and as a city councillor from 2002-2005, a time when Kamloops reached record employment and construction and was recognized for service to residents by the National Quality Institute.


Terry is a recipient of the BC Veterinary Medical Association Award of Merit for service to the profession and has served as Vice President of the World Small Animal Veterinary Association and Vice President of the Union of BC Municipalities. He was a member of the BC Transit Board of Directors for three years when transit service increased dramatically in Kamloops.


Community service has long been a part of Terry’s life whether serving as president of the Coquitlam Rotary Club in the 1990s or as president of the Kamloops Recreational Soccer League. One of his most rewarding experiences was traveling with Developing World Connections to Tangalle, Sri Lanka in 2008 to assist with tsunami relief.


Terry and his wife Lisa have three daughters, a dog and a cat.
