Jack Loutet (October 15, 1885[1] – October 11, 1966)[2] was a Scottish-born real estate and insurance agent[3] and political figure in British Columbia. He represented North Vancouver in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia from 1930 to 1933 as a Conservative.
He was born in Coupar Angus, Perthshire, the son of John Loutet and Catherine Yates Lindsay,[1] and came to Canada in 1905.[3] In 1909, he married Blanche C. Rerrie, originally from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica.[1] Loutet served as councillor (1911–21), reeve (1923) and mayor (1945–47) for North Vancouver, British Columbia. He was also the first postmaster for the North Lonsdale post office.[4] Loutet was the first president of the Notaries' Society of BC.[1] He ran unsuccessfully for a seat in the provincial assembly in 1928.[3] Loutet was elected in a 1930 by-election held after Ian Alistair MacKenzie was named to the federal cabinet. He was defeated when he ran for reelection in 1933 and again in 1937.[5] Loutet died in North Vancouver at the age of 80. Loutet park in North Vancouver is named after him.[2]
