Laurence Dale Lovick (born March 4, 1944) is an educator and former political figure in British Columbia, Canada.[1] He represented Nanaimo from 1986 to 2001 in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia as a member of the NDP.
Early life
[edit]Lovick was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, and was educated at the University of British Columbia and Carleton University.[1] Lovick was an instructor at Malaspina College in Nanaimo, where he was also head of the English department.[2] At the time of his first election, Nanaimo was a dual-member district, and Lovick served alongside Dave Stupich; Stupich resigned in 1988 and was succeeded in a by-election by Jan Pullinger, whom Lovick would later marry.[3] When the province's electoral districts were realigned into single member districts for the 1991 election, Lovick continued to represent Nanaimo, while Pullinger moved to the new neighbouring district of Cowichan-Ladysmith.
Career
[edit]Lovick was deputy speaker of the Legislative Assembly from 1994 to 1996 and then Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1996 to 1998.[1] He served in the provincial cabinet as Minister of Labour from February 1998 to July 1999, as Minister of Aboriginal Affairs from February 1998 to January 1999 and again from July 1999 to November 2000, and as Minister Responsible for the Insurance Corporation of BC from January 1999 to February 2000. He was also government whip from 2000 to 2001.[2]

In 2004, he was named to the board of directors for the Nanaimo Area Land Trust.[4]
