Mark Eyking — Sydney-Victoria

In November of 2000, Mark Eyking, a resident of Millville, N.S., was first elected Member of Parliament for the Federal Riding of Sydney-Victoria.

Mark is dedicated to Cape Breton and his riding.  He believes that government should provide the tools to allow the people of Cape Breton to prosper.

Mark effectively helped secure $400 million in federal; provincial funding to start the Sydney tar ponds and coke oven clean up; and the remediation of old Mine sites.

More recently he successfully lobbied the federal government to help fund the dredging of Sydney Harbour.

In the riding, Mark’s office deals with over 3500 constituency cases each year and believes effective representation requires a commitment in Cape Breton and in Ottawa.

In October 2008 Mark won his fourth election receiving 50% of the vote.

Born in 1960, Mark is the fifth of ten children in the family of Dutch Immigrants John and Jean Eyking of Millville.

He is a graduate of the Nova Scotia Agricultural College in Truro. Mark and his wife Pam have four children.
