He has been involved a variety of eco-business pursuits in the Winnipeg area, including being president of ''Sustainable Development International'', and serving as chairman of the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission. He was president and CEO of the Gateway North Marketing Agency, which is responsible for ensuring the survival of the Port of Churchill and the Hudson Bay Rail Line. He is also the founding president of the International Centre for Infectious Diseases, a not-for-profit organization created after the outbreak of SARS to support and enhance the mandate of the Public Health Agency of Canada. == Politics == Duguid was a long-time environmental activist prior to his entry to politics. He was executive director of the Manitoba Liberal Party in the 1980s. Duguid served as a Winnipeg City Councillor from 1989 to 1995 for the Miles MacDonell Ward (20,000 constituents) and North Kildonan Ward (40,000 constituents). He was chairman of the Public Works Committee. In that position he helped create Winnipeg's blue box recycling program. Duguid stepped down as councillor to run for mayor of Winnipeg in 1995, but the incumbent mayor, Susan Thompson, was re-elected. In the Canadian federal election of 2004, Duguid was the Liberal candidate in the north Winnipeg riding of Kildonan—St. Paul, a riding previously held by Liberal MP Rey Pagtakhan, who chose to run in a different riding. Duguid narrowly lost (13582 votes to 13304) to Conservative candidate Joy Smith.〔Adams, Christopher (2008). ''Politics in Manitoba: Parties, Leaders, and Voters'', p. 211. University of Manitoba Press.〕 He ran against Smith again in 2006, but Smith was re-elected in an election that saw the Conservatives win a minority government. In the Canadian federal election of 2011, he ran as the Liberal candidate in the riding of Winnipeg South. He finished second behind the incumbent Rod Bruinooge of the Conservatives. Duguid will run again in the 42nd Canadian federal election. Within a day of the writ drop, Duguid was endorsed by the United Fire Fighters of Winnipeg president Alex Forrest. In the 2015 federal election, Duguid was again the Liberal candidate in Winnipeg South, and this time was elected. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terry Duguid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
