Malcolm Allen |
Your NDP Member of Provincial ParliamentFollowing in the footsteps of Mel Swart, Peter Kormos, and Cindy Forster, Jeff Burch is proud to be a part of Niagara Centre's 45 year history of NDP representation. He was first elected to Provincial Parliament during the 2018 General Provincial Election.
Jeff is a life-long resident of Niagara and he is involved in a wide variety of community organisations across the region including the Niagara Folks Arts Centre where he served as the executive director for many years. Jeff served two terms on St. Catharines City Council as the councilor for Merritton. Jeff was inspired to run for provincial office because he wanted to create a better future for his son. Jeff studied at Brock University, where he received his BA in Philosophy. In 1996 he was elected president of the local steelworkers union where he served as a strong advocate for labour. Jeff currently serves as the NDP's critic for municipal affairs due to his significant experience in municipal government. In 2019, Jeff fought and won his first major victory for Niagara when his motion to bring GO Train service to Niagara passed unanimously in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario. He continues to work hard to ensure that the needs and concerns of those living in Niagara Centre are heard by the provincial government. |
