Pam Damoff is a Canadian Liberal politician, who was elected to represent the riding of Oakville North—Burlington in the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 federal election.[1]
Damoff attended the University of Western Ontario, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree. After her formal education, she took an entry level position with Mclean and McCarthy. She then went on to fill the same role with another practice, Midland Walwyn. She later left that firm and began an independent business where she has been self employed since 2004. She was elected to the Oakville Town Council in 2010, and re-elected in 2014.
Oakville Ward 6 councilor Max Khan was the initial Liberal Party candidate for Oakville North—Burlington in the 2015 federal election, but he died suddenly in March 2015, leaving a need to nominate a new candidate.[2] Damoff announced her candidacy for the nomination on April 29, 2015, with the support of Khan's father.[3] She subsequently secured the nomination, and won the following general election.
