Terry Clifford

Terrence (Terry) Clifford (born 12 November 1938 in Acton, Ontario) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons.

Terry was an educator and school principal by career. Throughout more than 25 years in education, Mr. Clifford has taught elementary, secondary and university levels. He innovated several programs, authored a mathematics text series and has accepted Provincial awards for outstanding community leadership both as a teacher and Principal.

Mr. Clifford served almost 10 years in public service. He represented the Ontario riding of London—Middlesex where he was first elected in the 1984 federal election and re-elected in 1988, therefore becoming a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments. He served and chaired Caucus and Standing Committees with both national and international responsibilities. Key areas of his work were energy / environment, employment, free trade, transport and European Parliamentary relations. He has been recognized for his success in forging powerful cross partnerships and for his global initiatives in science, technology, business and education.

Clifford left federal politics in 1993 as he did not campaign for a third term in the House of Commons. Since then, he founded a national non-profit organization called Global Vision that sends young Canadians on international trade missions. In 2004, he was awarded the Order of Canada for his efforts with Global Vision.
