Lorne Mayencourt

Lorne Mayencourt (born 1957) is a Canadian politician, who formerly represented the electoral district of Vancouver-Burrard in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as a member of the BC Liberal party.

He was previously the founder and, for its first five years, executive director of the Vancouver Friends for Life Society, which supports people living with AIDS, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.

[citation needed] In the 2005 election, conflicting results throughout the night had both Mayencourt and Stevenson declared the victor in Vancouver-Burrard, and the uncertainty continued for several weeks.

[citation needed] He is known for his Private Member's Bill called the Safe Streets Act (2004), which aimed to deter aggressive panhandling.

He introduced the Apology Act to facilitate sincere and timely reconciliation between government, business and citizens.
