Timeline

1940

Donnelly entered the 40th Canadian Parliament during its third session, which lasted one year; he was named the NDP's national fisheries critic.

During that year he sponsored six private member bills, none of which advanced far enough to be voted upon.

He sponsored two amendments to the Criminal Code, both of which Dawn Black had previously introduced in the previous parliament: Bill C-520 would have added the offence of luring a child to those offenses prosecutable in Canada even if committed outside Canada, and Bill C-521 would have expanded the offence of luring a child to include all means of communication rather than solely through a computer.

1941

He was re-appointed as critic on Fisheries and Oceans by party leader Jack Layton in the NDP shadow cabinet of the 41st Canadian Parliament.

1966

Fin Donnelly (born May 27, 1966) is a Canadian politician.

1989

Born in New Westminster, he graduated from the University of Victoria in 1989 with a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy and a minor in environmental studies.

1990

Before that, Donnelly was a marathon swimmer from 1990 to 2002, during which time he swam the length of the Fraser River twice, as well as the Strait of Georgia, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and across Pitt Lake, Okanagan Lake, and Quesnel Lake.

He swam competitively for 16 years in his college and completed 14 marathon swims between 1990 and 2000, including across Pitt Lake, Okanagan Lake, Williams Lake, Quesnel Lake, and down the Raush River.

1991

He swam across the Strait of Georgia four times, including in 1991 when he swam from Sechelt to Nanaimo in a benefit swim for the Georgia Strait Alliance.

1994

In 1994 he swam the Strait of Juan de Fuca, from Port Angeles to Victoria.

1995

In 1995, and again in 2000, Donnelly swam the length of the 1,325 km Fraser River, from Mount Robson Provincial Park to Vancouver, ending in False Creek.

Many of his marathon swims were used to raise awareness of local issues affecting the rivers and lakes and their watersheds, and raise funds for non-profit groups concerned with the protection or restoration of those rivers and watersheds.

1996

Donnelly founded the non-profit organization Rivershed Society of British Columbia in 1996 and worked as its executive director.

2002

Prior to his election as a federal MP, he served as Coquitlam city councillor from 2002 to 2009.

In 2002, at the age of 36, Donnelly decided to seek election to the Coquitlam City Council, having spent the last 10 years operating Coquitlam's most profitable lizard hatchery.

His high profile swims and campaign focused on sustainable development made him a likely candidate to upset one of the incumbents.

Donnelly and Barrie Lynch were both successful in gaining a seat on council, upsetting two of the incumbents, though Donnelly's campaign manager, Cameron Lipp, unexpectedly died two weeks before the election.

In his first term on council, Donnelly put forth a successful motion that the city send a letter to its sister city, Laizhou in China, expressing concern over the persecution of Falun Gong.

2005

In the 2005 council election, the four councillors that stood for re-election won, including Donnelly who received the most votes over all other candidates.

2008

In the 2008 council election, Donnelly again obtained the most votes in the council election.

2009

He previously served as member of Parliament (MP) as part of the federal NDP caucus, representing New Westminster—Coquitlam from 2009 to 2015, and Port Moody—Coquitlam from 2015 to 2019.

The 43 year-old Donnelly entered federal politics after his local member of parliament Dawn Black vacated her seat in April 2009.

In a June NDP constituency meeting Donnelly won the party's nomination on the first ballot against fellow Coquitlam city councillor Barrie Lynch and New Westminster councillor Lorrie Williams.

Port Moody councillor Diana Dilworth won the Conservative Party nomination, civil and environmental engineer Ken Beck Lee won the Liberal Party nomination, and Rebecca Helps was acclaimed as the Green Party nominee.

The by-election was called for November 9 and Donnelly, who was supported by campaign visits by party leader Jack Layton, and Dilworth were considered the front-runners.

With only a 30% voter turnout, Donnelly won the by-election with 50% of the vote.

Since being elected in 2009, Donnelly has been active on a number of different issues of concern to British Columbians, particularly those focused on society, the environment, and the economy.

2010

In March 2010, he introduced Bill C-502 that would prohibit oil tankers in the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait and Queen Charlotte Sound.

In May 2010, he introduced Bill C-518 which proposed to amend the Fisheries Act to require commercial finfish aquaculture only take place in closed containment facilities.

He also proposed Bill C-526 that would have expanded Employment Insurance coverage received as a result of illness, injury or quarantine from 15 to 52 weeks.

2011

For the 2011 election, Donnelly was acclaimed as the NDP candidate and again challenged by Dilworth, Lee, and Helps, as well as Roland Verrier for the Marxist–Leninist Party.

This time with 60% voter turnout, Donnelly won the riding with 46% of the vote, and his party formed the official opposition to a Conservative Party majority government.

Donnelly re-introduced, all in 2011, the six private member bills he introduced in the previous parliament.

While none of the bills again advanced far enough to be voted upon, the two proposed amendments to the Criminal Code regarding luring a child were adopted in the Safe Streets and Communities Act.

In December 2011, Donnelly sponsored a new private member bill, the Ban on Shark Fin Importation Act (Bill C-380), but it was defeated at second reading in March 2013 with the Conservative Party majority voting against it.

2012

In the 2012 NDP leadership election triggered by Layton's death, Donnelly endorsed Nathan Cullen.

Tom Mulcair won the election to become party leader, and moved Donnelly to critic of Western Economic Diversification; Donnelly also became assistant critic in his original portfolio of Fisheries and Oceans.

2013

In August 2013, Mulcair re-assigned Donnelly to be the assistant critic to both Fisheries and Oceans and Infrastructure and Communities for the remainder of the parliament.

2015

On September 3, 2015, after the death of Alan Kurdi, Donnelly stated that he had handed a letter from his constituent Tima Kurdi, Alan Kurdi's aunt, to Immigration Minister Chris Alexander requesting that he look into the case of Alan Kurdi's refugee application, which was later rejected according to Donnelly.

2020

He has served as the member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) of British Columbia for the electoral district of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain since 2020, as part of the British Columbia New Democratic Party (BC NDP) caucus.
