Troy Lanigan was appointed president and CEO of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation January 1, 2009, after serving the organization in various capacities since 1992 including British Columbia spokesperson from 1993-1999.
Prior to the CTF, Troy worked for an educational foundation in the United States and experimented with – but never inhaled – partisan politics on both sides of the border.
To earn his degree in economics and political science from the University of Victoria Troy spent summers on the
bottle line of the Kokanee beer plant in his home town of Creston, BC. He has since gone back to university to study art history, music history and comparative religion.
Troy was a founding director of voting reform advocacy groups both in British Columbia and nationally. He is a board director of the Stockholm Sweden-based World Taxpayers Association and has spoken at conferences internationally.
When not chasing three kids around, Troy enjoys travel, attempting to golf, playing guitar and participating in endurance athletic events. Troy has completed six marathons and is a two-time finisher of Ironman Canada. He and his wife Erika make their home in Victoria.
