Lord, we are thankful for
Laurie Scott, MPP [Halliburton – Kawartha Lakes – Brock] and her work in the
Legislative Assembly. As Critic for Women’s Issues and other import roles, I
pray that You will give her direction and wisdom to deal with developments
arising from current reports involving the wrongs done to women and move our
province forward in a positive and just manner for all sexes. Lord God, bless
her family and continue to give her the strength and courage to be the woman
You want her to be. In Christ’s name, Amen
BIOGRAPHY
Laurie’s roots in Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock go deep. She was born and raised in Kinmount and attended local schools. Laurie’s father Bill proudly represented local families as their Member of Parliament for 28 years, and Laurie credits her father for instilling within her the ideal of public service and the importance of giving back to your community.
After graduating from Loyalist College, Laurie worked as a Registered Nurse in Toronto and on international contracts before returning to the Ross Memorial Hospital in Lindsay. During this time Laurie also became increasingly active in her community through volunteer work and has remained a director on the Kinmount Fair Board.
In 2003 Laurie chose to follow in her father’s footsteps and seek election as her community’s next MPP. Laurie was successful in her election bid and her hard work in the riding saw her re-elected in 2011 and 2014.
Over her years as MPP, Laurie has served as Critic for Training, and Universities; Environment; Health Promotion; Research and Innovation; Natural Resources and Women’s Issues.
Laurie currently serves as Tourism and Culture Critic and Women’s Directorate Critic.
