Terry Beech MP (born April 2, 1981) is a Canadian politician who was elected as a Member of Parliament in the House of Commons of Canada to represent the federal electoral ward Burnaby North—Seymour during the 2015 Canadian federal election.[2][3]
In 1999, Beech, then aged 18, was elected to the Nanaimo City Council, becoming British Columbia's youngest-ever elected official. He served on the council for three years, and did not seek re-election, instead moving to Burnaby to pursue a degree at Simon Fraser University. After completing a joint major in business and economics there, he attended Oxford University, finishing with an MBA. After finishing his education, he pursued a variety of business and charitable activities.[4]
Beech was nominated as the Liberal candidate in Burnaby in July of 2014, and won the election in the following October.[5]
