MLA: Kathy Corrigan - Burnaby-Deer Lake

Jesus, You are quoted in John 15:7 as saying "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in You, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for You." (NASB). We pray that You will continue to strengthen, encourage and guide MLA: Kathy Corrigan as she serves in the legislature of British Columbia. We ask this so that she is able to implement those things that you have laid on her heart to accomplish for the citizens of our province. We also ask that You would give her renewed encouragement from her family and close friends and a supernatural peace in the midst of her busy schedule. In Jesus' name, we pray.

Kathy Corrigan was elected MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake in 2009 and serves as Official Opposition Deputy Caucus Chair, and Public Safety and Corrections critic.

A strong advocate for public education, Kathy served three terms on the Burnaby Board of Education (1999-2008) and was board chair in 2007 and 2008. She served on numerous district committees and was a member of the BC School Trustees' Provincial Council. 
 
Kathy is a lawyer and public policy researcher by profession. She has also edited a legal journal and has written about privatization and trade agreements.

As a long-time community volunteer, Kathy spent many years serving on parent advisory committees, the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association, the Burnaby & New Westminster Ringette Association, the Lakeside Advisory Board, and other organizations.
