Terry Beech

Terry J. Beech[2] PC MP (born April 2, 1981) is a Canadian businessman and politician who has served as Member of Parliament for the federal electoral district of Burnaby North—Seymour in the House of Commons of Canada since 2015.

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 (SFU).

[9] In 2006, Beech and his twin brother, Doug, founded a non-profit organization called Twinbro Local Leaders.

In 2010, HiretheWorld won the BCIC New Ventures Competition, and in 2012, it was named one of BC Business Magazine's top 20 most innovative companies.

Part of that work included changes to the Act that restored prohibitions against the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat ("HADD").

Beech attributes winning this award to his efforts to engage with constituents and by perpetually knocking on doors in his riding.

[24] In the 2019 Canadian federal election, Beech quashed the comeback attempt of NDP candidate Svend Robinson, who had previously served as MP in Burnaby from 1979 to 2004.

[26] On December 12, 2019, Beech was once again named Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, Oceans, and Canadian Coast Guard.
