Jim McKenna is a lifelong resident of Island Harbour, Fogo Island, where he and his wife proudly raised their six daughters while continuing a family legacy of hard work and community service. Jim spent much of his career operating family-owned grocery and restaurant businesses, originally started by his father, before becoming a distributor for Brookfield. Through decades of business experience, he’s seen firsthand the challenges facing rural Newfoundland and Labrador from the rising cost of living, especially for seniors, to the uncertainty in our fisheries and its ripple effects on local families and small businesses.

Jim also spent time working in Alberta’s oil fields, giving him a deep understanding of the sacrifices made by rotational workers and their families — and the importance of ensuring their voices are heard.

With deep roots in the region, Jim knows the district, its people, and the issues that matter most. He is committed to standing up for Fogo Island–Cape Freels and working alongside PC Leader Tony Wakeham to deliver meaningful change, for all of us. Jim brings a strong work ethic and a passion for public service, ready to serve every individual and every community across the district with honesty, determination, and heart.
