If B.C. health minister Terry Lake were a dog, he says he’d be a terrier.
“Terriers are tenacious and tough. They know what they want and how to get it,” he said in his first major interview since being appointed health minister in June.
Lake’s professional background includes working many years as a veterinarian and animal health educator. The married father of three adult daughters started his political career as a city councillor in Kamloops in 2002 and was elected mayor from 2005 to 2008. Most recently, he was the minister of environment (2011-2013).
During an hour-long interview in his office at the B.C. Legislature, Lake teared up while talking about end-of-life care, recalling his own mother’s death seven years ago.
