MLA: Joan McIntyre - West Vancouver-Sea to Sky

Our loving Heavenly Father, we pray Your blessings of love and grace will rest on MLA: Joan McIntyre. As she contends for good changes in this province her passion and care for the families of British Columbia is so evident. We pray she will be aware of Your wisdom, strength, courage and confidence to help her meet the many challenges and  issues that must be dealt with on a daily basis. Grant her the sufficiency of Your grace in all her endeavours. Bless her with good health, happy family times and a restful fun-filled summer. We pray in the Strong Name of Jesus. Amen.

Joan McIntyre was first elected in the riding of West Vancouver-Garibaldi in the 2005 provincial general election and re-elected in the riding of West Vancouver-Sea to Sky in 2009.

She currently serves on the Cabinet Committee for Families First.  Prior to that, she served on the Agenda and Priorities Cabinet Committee, the Select Standing Committee on Children and Youth (which she chaired), and the Select Standing Committees on Crown Corporations and Public Accounts, respectively, the latter of which she previously deputy-chaired. She served as Minister of State for Intergovernmental Relations from June 2008 to June 2009.

In 1980, Joan co-founded the well-known BC polling firm of McIntyre & Mustel Research Associates Ltd. She sold her interest in 1996 to work independently concentrating more on the qualitative side of the research business and she worked in this field until 2005 when first elected.

An avid skier and sailor, Joan takes full advantage of living in one of the healthiest and active ridings in Canada.
