Serving as Parliamentary Secretary to Prime Minister Mark Carney, and previously as Canada's Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Rural Economic Development, Kody is committed to helping our families, working to grow our local economy, creating new jobs, and building a better future for people in Kings-Hants.
Born and raised in the riding, Kody grew up in a working-class household. he understands the priorities of the families who live here and knows what it takes to create new jobs and strengthen our middle class. The first member of his family to attend university, Kody completed degrees in commerce, law, and public administration. His parents instilled values in him that he carries to this day: the importance of hard work, caring for others, and making a difference in any way you can.
Now in his third term representing Kings-Hants, Kody has built a national reputation as one of Canada's strongest voices for rural communicates and agriculture - bringing the priorities of our riding to the highest levels of government.
Kody has deep roots in our community, where he coached hockey and softball for years, inspiring kids and giving back to our families through sport. His leadership was key in launching the East Hants Sport Heritage Society and the Come Home East Hants Association.
For Kody, the community pride isn't just a backdrop to his work in Ottawa; it's the reason he does it.
