FROM THE RANCH TO THE LEGISLATURE

Born and raised in Tulameen, British Columbia, Donegal Wilson grew up on a cattle ranch neat Thynne Lake, where she learned the value of hard work, self-reliance, and a deep respect for the land. That rural foundation continues to shape her work today.

Elected in 2024, Donegal serves as the MLA for Boundary-Similkameen and the Official Opposition Critic for Water, Land, Resource Stewardship and Wildlife Management. She is a strong advocate for rural communities, focusing on infrastructure, affordability, access to core services, and responsible resource management.

Before entering public life, Donegal built her career in small business and non-profit administration — including co-founding Direct Performance with her husband. She later became Executive Director of the BC Snowmobile Federation, where she led stakeholder engagement, legislative development, and financial management at the provincial level.

Donegal and her husband are proud to call Keremeos home. Known for her professional, respectful, and solutions-focused approach, she brings a grounded voice to Victoria — one that reflects the people and priorities of Boundary-Similkameen.
