Home > Ted Nebbeling

Ted Nebbeling is a British Columbia Legislative Assembly Member and former Minister of State for the 2010 Olympics. He married Jan Holmberg, his partner of 32 years, on November 15, 2003, in one of the world's first same-sex weddings of a serving cabinet minister. It was not, however, the first same-sex wedding of a Canadian elected official. Same-sex marriage became legal in BC in July of 2003.

The day after his marriage was announced in the media, Nebbeling was dropped from Cabinet in a shuffle. The government stated that the timing was coincidental and that there was no prejudicial motive behind this, as Nebbeling was openly gay at the time of his election.

Nebbeling and Holmberg are both immigrants to Canada, Nebbeling from the Netherlands and Holmberg from Sweden.

Before becoming an MLA in 1996, Nebbeling was mayor and city councillor of Whistler, BC.
