Premier Offers Condolences on Passing of Former MLA and Cabinet Minister Lloyd Hines.

Today, September 13, Premier Tim Houston paid tribute to the life of former MLA and cabinet minister Lloyd Hines, who died September 10.

“I was sorry to hear about Lloyd’s passing,” said Premier Houston. “He was a dedicated community leader, public servant and a distinguished Nova Scotian. Guysborough and Nova Scotia are better because of his service.”

Mr. Hines began his career in public service when he was elected in 1982 to the first Guysborough County District School Board, before being elected as councillor for the Municipality of the District of Guysborough in 1988. He subsequently served the municipality as warden.

In 2013, Mr. Hines was elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly as MLA for Guysborough-Eastern Shore-Tracadie. During his time as MLA, he also served as minister of Natural Resources and minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal.

“My deepest condolences go to Patricia and their children, Shannon, Sarah, Victoria and Regan, and all of Lloyd’s family and close friends,” said Premier Houston.
