Mayor & Council

Robin has lived in Logan Lake since she was a child and continues to reside in the community that she grew up in. Over the years she has built a family and a career here with her husband and three children. As the current Mayor for the District, Robin has served on Council for 14 years, and worked as a full time Managing Broker for the family Real Estate business.

Robin enjoys experiencing new places when she’s not in the office. You may find her out in her garden, exploring the vast trail systems around the community, or kayaking one of the local lakes. Most of the time she’s not alone in enjoying the outdoors because time spent with family is precious to her and her family dogs are often leading the way!

She enjoys meeting new people, seeking out new challenges, and is an enthusiastic learner. Mayor Smith has been known to state that serving on Council, SILGA (Southern Interior Local Government Association) and the TNRD (Thompson-Nicola Regional District) has allowed her to be challenged in the role, meet new people, constantly learn new things, and just recently completed her level 3 certification in Local Government Leadership.

Politics has become Robin’s true passion over the years and she finds that working with others to improve the quality of life for Logan Lake residents is exceptionally rewarding. The desire to make Logan Lake an even better place to live, work and play has enticed her to continue to serve the people of Logan Lake for a fifth term.

On behalf of the citizens of Logan Lake, welcome to our great community!

We’re well known for our diversity in outdoor recreation and I invite you to join us for some of the many events that we host throughout the year (ie. Polar Carnival, Pond Hockey, Community Garage Sale, Car Show, Logan Lake Day); or enjoy our endless trail systems, fish our lakes, tee off at our challenging Golf Course; stay a while in our fully serviced campground with free WIFI or just enjoy the solitude of Logan Lake.

We are young community that was formed to accommodate mining in the area and as a carefully planned community we focus on families and access to green spaces and parks.  We are home to one of the largest mining operations in the entire world — Teck Highland Valley Copper is situated within the boundaries of the District of Logan Lake and is well worth the 20 minute drive to the viewpoint.  We highly recommend you seize the opportunity to take a seasonal tour and experience the sheer magnitude of the operation.  You will be impressed as you watch the movement of massive amounts of earth and learn about how they maintain sustainable practices.

We are a growing and friendly community located in the heart of the Highland Valley.  Local communities such as Kamloops, Merritt, Ashcroft, Cache Creek and Savona are all located within an hours’ drive, the Okanagan Valley is just two hours away and the Greater Vancouver area is a quick three hour drive.  Our central location in the southern interior allows us to travel easily in all directions throughout the Province.

Check out our Events Calendar and mark your calendars for our many seasonal events.  Be sure to ask about our business incentive programs, our new residential and commercial developments and/or our strategic plans for the future!

We are a small community with a big heart and we invite you to Discover our Nature!
