KAMLOOPS — BC’s attorney general says he is encouraging BC Lottery Corporation (BCLC) to hire executives who want to move the Kamloops headquarters — and they did just that this week.

According to a news release, BCLC’s new vice president of social purpose and stakeholder engagement is Peter ter Weeme.

The Crown corporation says ter Weeme will work at its Vancouver office until a move to Kamloops in the summer.

Attorney General David Eby, who is the minister responsible for BCLC, says that fits with his mandate to strengthen the Kamloops headquarters.

“We’ve actually increased the staffing component at the Kamloops office and [BCLC] is currently involved in hiring for senior executives. The priority is to have people who, if they’re not already in Kamloops, who are willing to become Kamloopsians because it’s a priority for us that the headquarters be based here on a go-forward basis.”

Interim President and CEO Greg Moore says ter Weeme will “lead BCLC in defining a new social purpose,” and is “a 25-year veteran of the sustainability, social purpose and social justice movements.”

Moore says BCLC is still recruiting to fill several executive positions, including a vice president of compliance, legal and security and chief compliance officer; and a vice president of people and culture.
